Joys of Motherhood

When Gemma woke up this morning she told me her ear hurt. I kept telling myself that she couldn't possibly have an ear infection, she just got off antibiotics on Monday. By the time we got home from taking Maya to school Gemma was crying telling me her ear still hurt and she didn't feel good (something she NEVER says!). Had a quick shower and took her to the doctor when it opened at 9. Sure enough ear infection plus she still had the upper respiratory infection she was originally taking the antibiotics for. Gemma has decided that she hates the doctor and he is scary. Not true, the nicest person in the world. She told me she didn't need to see the doctor she just needed a vitamin. Anyway she proceeded to get so upset at the doctor's office during her exam that she started projectile vomiting. Of course her first target was me for taking her to the doctor in the first place. Then she just continued to spray his entire office. I didn't think she'd had that much to eat that morning. So we left his office covered in vomit smelling lovely. As we left the hazmat team came in to clean up.

Then on to the Pharmacy, they didn't have the antibiotic he prescribed so I took her home cleaned us both up and went in search of the antibiotic. 3 Pharmacies later the lady told me I would not be able to locate that in Doha. Apparently all bottles expired and the Pharmacies pulled it off the shelves.

Back to the doctor where I waited for 45 minutes for him to finish with a patient. Got new prescription and back home. Sure hope this baby feels better soon. She is so pitiful when she is sick. She breaks my heart.
