heartlikealion Posted July 22 Author Share Posted July 22 I just had her stand on the scale and realized she needs a higher dose than the age chart (I know weight is more important) so I’m giving her more medicine this time.

heartlikealion Posted July 23 Author Share Posted July 23 Been making her alternate meds. She wants to try more foods. I remembered I have greek yogurt here. I can mix that with banana if apple is too hard. Friend/landkord was here mowing and I introduced him to ds. Dd said she wasn’t interested if he didn’t have the pets (lol). He said he could let us bunny sit sometime. Anyway he pitched DnD to ds and we might give it a go on Friday night at the house. Made arrangements to bring car to mechanic Tuesday night and get ride home. Then carpool with a colleague Wed to work and I’m off Thursday so I’ll figure the rest out later. I canceled my internet service at the old place. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heartlikealion Posted July 23 Author Share Posted July 23 Another bout of her in immense pain. We were off by 30 min on the 3 hr med rotation… and now she doesn’t want to take it unless she eats something but didn’t want banana and only wanted like 2 bites of pudding. Waiting on pancake to cool off. I’m worried I’ll have to use another sick day. I don’t like the idea of relying on ds to alternate meds and dd may ask me to stay home. He’s a good brother but he gets distracted, doesn’t reliably check his phone, and lacks common sense at times (he was drawing a bath yesterday without a stopper). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heartlikealion Posted July 23 Author Share Posted July 23 After my last post I did get her to take Motrin. She just woke up screaming in pain and clearly from the time stamp we were on top of the med rotation. I don’t understand why this is happening when we were told day 3 was the worst. Her surgery was last Wed. You know what they say, they reserve the big reactions for parents they feel safe with but I’m not sure that’s what’s going on here. This is so weird to me. I think I’ll touch base with the dr. but don’t think anything will change. I’ll miss work again and implied to my boss that Wednesday is looking iffy. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m sure it is unless there’s an after hours number. They open at 8 am and it’s roughly 7 am here now. My boss didn’t take the hint and said see you tomorrow. I just said I’d keep her posted. I don’t know about the infection possibility. And if she needs to see the ENT he needs to probably pick her up since my car is struggling (needs hub bearings, brake pads and soon after struts). ds talked me into purchasing aloe Vera juice but it’s awful and he confirmed. Said must be the brand. He said that when he had a sore throat it really helped but didn’t taste like this one. If anyone knows the “right” brand please share.

I am hesitant to schedule things like urgent care because they may say she needs to go to ENT after giving me another bill to share with xh.

heartlikealion Posted July 23 Author Share Posted July 23 They have been on CHIP before. At least ds, anyway. All right, just spoke to xh. Makes me triggered. Told me that it can get worse before better even this far out, essentially gaslit me when I said his text said day 3 was the worst… then backpedaled and said he meant to say “was worse” if he said worst. I reread the text. It literally said, “Sore and pain in her throat and sometimes tongue. They tell me day three is the worst side of all.” Yeah no way that’s a typo. Said nothing stronger than OTC Tylenol & Mortrin is what ENT said. Doesn’t want kids on narcotics (I thought to myself who said there’s no in between from OTC and narcotics). He pretty much dismissed dd’s perception that it’s been worse since she got here. Iterated that it can take up to a week like this so give it another day or 2 to look for improvement. Then sent me screenshots of an article stating it’s quite common to feel progressively worse 5 or 6 days post surgery. That clearly contradicts his 3 day text. I’m glad this is in writing. He always makes me feel crazy. unrelated… he told me yesterday that the grandma is moving in (from Peru) and they are sponsoring her. I asked about the garage and he corrected me and said bedrooms and they gave cooling systems etc in there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spryte Posted July 23 Share Posted July 23 I would keep an eye on the temp, esp since she seemed to improve and then worsened. Can you call the ENT office and speak directly to a nurse today? Getting direct info seems like a good plan, but I know from co-parenting that it’s not easy and there can be some awkwardness. You need to be able to ask them questions. Do you have the discharge paperwork to reference, at least? On the urgent care idea — I would encourage you to speak to a nurse or see the ENT before going that route, since your funds are limited. If they suggest UC, that’s one thing, but more likely they will want to see her, or call in abx. Anecdotally, DS had oral surgery and developed an infection about five days later. The doc was traveling to another office and the local office told us to go to urgent care if we didn’t want to travel to his other office. Ha! UC looked at us like we had three heads and sent us to the oral surgeon’s office two hours away. It just added time and expense needlessly. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xh got in touch with ENT office… he was suggesting I limit meds to morning/night but then retracted that after they told him to have me alternate. No sign of fever still though she woke up and took the med before I could check her head. It has been cool to the touch and I think the fever reducer would have mostly worn off by then since she delayed a dose due to stomach concerns. dd is miserable and has had a few episodes waking from sleep and making noises in pain. Just drank a little more. Said she wishes she never got the surgery. I hope in the long run it’s good for her. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

heartlikealion Posted July 24 Author Share Posted July 24 She has been difficult to hydrate. She won’t drink much at a time and even water and Gatorade she complained about at times. It’s really inconsistent. As far as food, also inconsistent. Only a couple bites of oatmeal yesterday, barely touched Spaghetti Os another day, and refused one medicine dose this morning because she had an empty stomach and couldn’t bring herself to finish a dry pancake or her applesauce. As the day went on she wanted to eat. Drank some without saying it hurt. I just don’t want to leave the house if she’s wailing, not cooperating, and I have no car to leave the office. Tomorrow if I go to work I’m carpooling. Ds cannot reliably care for her. When I went to drop off my vehicle with the mechanic I instructed them to have dd drink water and brush her teeth (apparently she’s supposed to brush after every meal but we haven’t been doing it). When I got home she had not drank nor brushed her teeth. When I explained this to xh he said oh ds isn’t like that here. I follow my gut and didn’t feel like I could leave today. Tomorrow possibly. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heartlikealion Posted July 24 Author Share Posted July 24 You know her taste buds are off because she began to toss m&ms in the trash last night saying they tasted funny. I retrieved the box and ds and I finished them lol Tentative plans to hang out with friend at his French quarter home Friday night so ds can try D&D and dd can visit with the dog and bunny. She lit up when I mentioned the animals. It’s awkward for me. But I really think it’ll be a good experience for the kids.

(“You don’t need a Dr, it’s a sprain. Just prop up on the couch”. Then eventually I got him to take me to the dr and I left with a boot and crutches so I was more mobile).

heartlikealion Posted July 27 Author Share Posted July 27 Our visit to the FQ was nice. My friend made dinner for us, ds and I played DnD for the first time, dd played with the pets, we went on a walk to get snacks, and saw a cathedral. Unfortunately dd couldn’t eat the macaroon from the bakery without issue but maybe later. A bakery open til midnight! Dangerous lol Not trying to get my hopes up (guy that wants bio kids) but I do think tonight planted a seed to my friend that wow kids can be a lot… lol ds was a saint but dd complained a lot (not referring to her mouth. We were compassionate about that). He joked she was like an old lady (she exchanged quips all night). I think everyone had a good time.
