I'm sure the glass is half full .... somewhere

We had a sudden visit to the hospital today when TG woke up with a barky cough and quite distressed. Having heard this MANY times before I rang the hospital straight away and was there in 10 minutes. (TG barking, crying and complaining all the way!) Of course, we got seen by the nurse almost immediately (gotta love crying kids sometimes!) but had to wait almost an hour longer for the doctor. I suppose at least we were able to see a doctor - it would have been another story a year ago! And of course, by the time we saw him, she was so much better. Oh well, that's how it usually goes....

While we were waiting, TG decided she needed to go to the loo. She's been having a bit of a problem recently with overshooting so she was quite careful in her positioning. Unfortunately she needed to sneeze (a HUGE one!) mid-stream and so all her good work was undone. You would be surprised where sneezy wee can end up.... lol

Oh, and where was I, you might ask??? I was holding her dressing gown up "so it wouldn't get wet", and so, you guessed it! - I was right in the firing line.......

TG used to be very good at all this hospital stuff but seems to have lost her mojo where being examined is concerned. we saw a new doctor today who was very patient with her. Lovely man, and very straightforward, (and also happy to examine Jarmie bear first!). Thankfully there was only a slight reddening in one ear and her temp was up but the chest is clear and she seems to be breathing ok. On the way home in the car she said "was it fun to go to the hospital???" I of course assured her that it was and said "the doctor was nice" and she replied "Yes, he was... and he had a brown face"... I was wondering if she had noticed....

So tomorrow it is off to the doctor to check out my ears (which are still full and a bit dizziness-causing) and to check out her croup as well as all the not-going-to-the-loo problems we seem to be having recently. It is all very frustrating. Let's hope he is in a sensible mood and sends me somewhere useful...

On a lighter note, TG and her cousin have been scrapping today. There has been a cybercrop on at Scrapbook Divas and they did the kids challenge. Sadly I have not felt like scrapping this weekend and so I have nothing but half a beanie to show for myself... but more about that later in the week.
