She didn't listen to us

We told Arathena ever since she was born that she was not allowed to go to Children's Hospital unless she was visiting her mommy or daddy at work. Well last night we had to go the ER because she had a high temp and difficulty breathing. She was pretty miserable. We waited 4 hours before we saw the intern and it was 5 hours before we got to go home. Luckily we got to go home without any tests. Originally they were going to do a chest x-ray and then check to see if she had a UTI, but when they checked her ears after taking out a bunch of wax, they saw her ear drums were infected. Luckily the antibiotic that she is on would treat pneumonia if she has it so we didn't have to get the chest x-ray.
It definately gave us a new appreciation for what families have to go through when their children are in the hospital. Just the sheer fatigue from waiting in the waiting room to see the doctor. I began to think, if Arathena was ever admited to the hospital we would go crazy. She wouldn't want to sleep in their cribs and just the change from her normal routine would be a disaster. She also FREAKS OUT with doctors. Arathena was flipping out last night and later Andy told me that the doctor was wondering if he needed to do an LP because she was so irritable, but Andy made sure he knew that it was because they were messing with her.
Well we hope to never have to go there again outside of work and we are grateful that Arathena is going to be ok.
