First Trip to the ER

On March 3rd, we took Quintin to the ER. He had been running a fever and tylenol wasn't really helping. Diagnosis: Ear Infection.
Why is it that your kid can be MISERABLE all day at home and then you take them to the Dr. and they smile and coo at all the nurses?! Our ER takes patients in order of severity...so of course because Quintin decided to coo and smile we got put at the bottom of the list. But, we got some antibiotics in him and he was back to normal in no time.
Also...we learned that even though we knew Q wasn't deathly sick, it was still AWFUL to see him on the hospital bed getting examined :(

PS...this was why we were waiting for the dose of medicine...it was almost midnight...and I had spent a long day working on my final paper and taking care of a sick baby.
