Hi Ho Hi Ho Its Off To The Dr Office We Go
Well, last night Madison tripped in her room and clocked her chin against her bed rail. All I know is that first I heard thud and then she cried. Bill was right behind her and said her legs went out from under her. I thought she just had a little cut, so I calmed her down and got her to go back to bed. This morning I looked at it again. She still had the cut, but it also looked like she split open her scar where she got stitches about a year ago. It also looked really red, so I called the doctor. I ended up having to bring her in.
Well, I feel like an idiot. She didn’t split her chin open in two places. Instead, she does have one cut. However, the rest of it is an abrasion. That never even crossed my mind. She took off about 3 layers of skin. I just need to keep a band aid on it with antibiotics.
She is fine. She likes showing everybody her Dora band aid. However, getting it on her is another story.

I think I am going to die
That is how bad I feel right now. I woke up at 1 am this morning to the worst pain I have ever had. This pain is probably the equivalent of having a baby or a kidney stone (both of which I have had). The worse part — it is in my breast. (warning: body parts conversation about to ensue). I pumped at 1 and cried the entire time (and anyone who know me know I don’t cry — ever). I then tried to go back to bed. I put a moist heating pad on my breast and laid in bed and cried until 5. I did some research and all I came up with was mastisis and a clogged duct. Problem is, I don’t have all the symptoms for either one. At 5, I finally remember that I have 600 mg of Ibuprofin left from when I had Will, so I took one of those. I also pumped in extreme pain for 45 minutes. My doctor’s office does not open until 9, so I had to suck it up till then. When I did get ahold of them, they told me to monitor my symptoms and call back at 12 (which I did). She told me that they were having problems getting ahold of the dr and that she would call me back when she did. About 1:10, she called me back and said since I was not running a fever I most likely just had a clogged duct. I should keep taking the Ibuprofin and if I spiked a fever, I needed to call.
2 o’clock rolled around and we had to take Will to his pediatric cardiologist appointment. I took my temp again and it was 100.3. Instead of calling the doctor, we went to Will’s appointment. I know, typical mom. His health is more important than mine. 
Good news, the heart murmur is normal one and they are not concerned at all. We have to go back in 5 months, so they can recheck. However, they told me not to worry about it.
It was about 4 by the time we got home and my temp was about 97.9. So I still didn’t call. I pumped, ate something, and went to bed. I woke up about 8:30 pm and pumped and took my temp. I am now running a 101.3 fever. I had the doctor paged and she decided to call me a prescription for antibiotics in. Being that I pump, I should not have mastis. However, something is definitely going on. If my fever does not go down in the next 4 hours, I will be going to the emergency room tonight. What a great way to spend the 4th!
I’ll take any advice that anyone has!
