Mom of the Year Award

I took Erica to the doctor today. She has had this lingering cough that she couldn't shake and in the last couple days, she was saying her ears were plugged up. So today, I decided I'll make an appointment see if she needs something to get her over this lingering thing .... well, much to my surprise, I left with three prescriptions. One medicine to cover the ear infection she has in both ears, one for the nebulizer and breathing treatments she will take for the bronchitis, and a steroid for the wheezing and crackling in her chest. And she has had no fever or complained about it. So, I sit here writing feeling like a complete loser. It used to be easier when they were babies. Oh, crying? Oh, fever? Oh, not sleeping? Okay, call the doctor. But when they get older and don't have the same symptoms, it gets harder to determine if they need to go. And I know I am the type to probably take them over every little thing and I know some who only take them when they are dying!!! Here I was trying to balance and stay in the middle and BAM! WRONG .... wrong.....wrong!!!! So tomorrow she will stay home in her pajamas and recover .... and I will make chicken soup! Go Loser!!!
