I feel like I just returned from another planet!
With Pinkie being so sick for the past week, it’s been impossible to to even think straight. I don’t even know what I’m thinking about in order to write this post.
Zobified. That’s me.
I’m eating a whopping bowl of Barilla Piccolini bowtie pasta with fresh tomatoes and mozzarella at 11:00pm at night – so bad.
But I’m not actually BACK to reality, so it’s all good.
I’m mad at her doctors for not being able to tell us what’s wrong…what happened…and what we can do! Try this drug, no maybe that drug, well perhaps back to this drug….AAAAH! And I won’t even get into how incompetent the nursing staff was in the ER Saturday night…they could not get a vein for over 2 hours! PapaBoss and I had to help hold our petrified, fevered, screaming baby girl down for almost 2 hours!!! It was the most horrific thing to have to endure to see her in that much pain.
I’m mad at myself for not understanding the immunization process, by which the Prevnar shots should have been administered within a few weeks of each other. The Pediatric group re-scheduled her immunizations twice…pushing us back months for the 2nd shot. Pinkie’s antibodies were working the entire time, so when she did eventually get the shot last Friday…her body was ready with a full-on attack…which included her high fevers and seizures.
I’m mad that there was nothing we could do for her. I check on both of my little sleeping tots multiple times a night and cover them up…WHY, HOW and WHAT bit her little leg so ferociously during the middle of the night in her freshly-washed bedding? What caused her leg to become toxic like that?
The good news is that Pinkie is almost back to 100%…her chubby ankle looks MUCH better and is healing nicely. She’s still on the Bactrim antibiotic for a few more days…poor thing…it’s a ruthless (on her bottom end) antibiotic!
So our plan now is to move to a new Pediatric group. I may even move them to our family practice at this point. I have been very unhappy from the beginning with PC For Kids, and this was the last straw. Can you believe I asked the receptionist for a list of all of the current doctors with the group. She pointed to a purple brochure on the wall and said “most of them are on there…when we run out [the pamphlets] we’ll print up more with the new doctors on them” — can you believe that?!!!
Anyway..I could rant all night.
Important thing is…my mostly-healthy babies are up in their cribs sleeping while my hubby is on a flight home from a business trip. Life is good. I have my Piccolini pasta at now 11:30pm and just might empty a glass of wine too. Life is good.
I’ll be back, for real, soon.
Right now, I’m just coming back to life.
Love yas!

I feel your pain and anger about not getting straight answers from medical professionals. We still do not know exactly why my little guy had two massive febrile seizures within 30 hours in the spring. Mind you it took us 3 days in the hospital the year before that to figure out the one he had at that time. Doctor offices should be shot for not keeping on top of when a patient should have an immunization. As parents we have too much to keep track of and are not aware of the little nuances. I hope that Pinkie continues to feel better and you rest up too. It took me months to get back after our experience and I imagine it will take you time as well.
I’m so sorry you had to go through so much with your baby girl surrounding this. I can only imagine how hard it was to see her in pain. But I’m glad to hear that she’s doing better and hopefully won’t have any more problems like this.
P.S. You are cute in those glasses! : )
I’m so glad to hear that she’s getting better!
That must have been so scary! I don’t even know what I would have done. I would be furious at the Dr’s and nurses. So happy to hear that she is better. I’m really hoping they give you some type of answers because you have a right to know what made her so incredibly sick.
I’m glad she is better. I would be mad about those things too!
I don’t know how far you are from Children’s Hospital but I would take her there is she has any further issues.
so glad to hear that things are returning to normal. I had to change G’s doctor at 6 months. I had reached my limit and then I don’t know if I even like his new dr because we’ve only seen his colleagues. great.
I am glad Pinkie is getting back to normal…not to mention you. I can’t even beleive how terrible that pediatric group is. They soung kind of like the physicians alliance from around here, My neighbor has a 5 year old who was born ill, and due to that he has bowel problems. She ran into a problem where he wasn’t pooping, and the doctor wasn’t at all concerned. It got to a point where she had to request testing because he ended up not eating. He was so backed up, that his stomach was compressed. She is switching over to my doctor because her son could have died from what they did to him. It shocks me to think about how careless that doctor was with the well being of a child. It is people like him that make me so cautious and ask my doctor so many questions.
I am so glad your baby girl is doing so much better!

What a perfect combination Pasta & Wine!
so YUMMY!
Have a ♥Lovely Day!
I am just catching up on this whole ordeal now…poor baby! I am so glad to hear she is fine. What a horrible thing you all had to go through!
It is SO frustrating when doctors cannot give you a straight answer. Hang in there! It sounds like the worst is behind you…
