Doctor

Well, today was an interesting trip to the doctor. We had to go in this morning a little unexpectedly (Caroline was coughing so much she was not breathing really great, but all is fine).

Now my kids are really very good at the doctor. They have never fussed about getting their ears checked or any of the other things that they do. They only thing that had upset them was shots.

Well, we discovered a new thing to freak out over. Caroline needed to use a nebulizer to make her breathing easier. She freaked out as soon as she saw it. It took me holding her in a basket hold with me wrapping my legs around her legs and the nurse giving her the medicine. She was supposed to inhale for 15 mins. If we got 10, we were lucky. She was really freaking out. For a while, I thought that she was going to pass out (which probably would have made it easier). The nurse (who was great) was even trying to hold Grace who was getting a little scared over the whole thing.

I was a wreck. I was sweating, tired and crying. I felt so badly for having to put her though that. But it worked and she was able to relax some which helps her not to cough so much.

Later when I was trying to make up with her, I realized that she was able to seperate the scariness of the situation and me. That makes me feel better.

So, now it is snowing (a lot) and we were instructed to be as relaxed as possible. So it is movie day at our house. Caroline loves them and the weather seems to be agreeing. It is turning into a good day.
