The Road To Wellville
So here we are coming up on 8 weeks this Wednesday since we first got sick as a family. The Gill's are on the Road to Wellville. (hopefully)
I swear in the last week that the two Dr's that we have taken Aidan too have been Dr. John Harvey Kellogg reincarnated. They act like I'm over-reacting because my baby has been vomiting. I'm sorry, I'm not. The 24 hour flu should be pretty close to that in my book, 24-48 hrs tops. Aidan however, has had this for 6 days now. He's still not eating right, throwing up and just basically unbearable to be around. I finally convinced the Dr yesterday to give him an another antibiotic for his right ear. I know they have years of medical training, but I know my baby!
8 weeks of miserable kids, adults and one fat cat. If this doesn't drive me to start drinking I don't know what will!

I think also being American is another strike against us of the kids are sick. Cause ya know Americans are stereotypically 'overreactive'. I generally feel I have to watch it because of this. But good on you for getting some action and getting those kiddos on the road to feeling better.
No way are you overreacting! I would probably take my baby to the doctor for a vomiting thing before 48h were up, because I feel it is better to be safe than sorry. They go on and on about meningitis and getting to a doctor quickly, but then they chastise you when you come! I used to have a doctor like that but I changed, and that has made all the difference. Can you find another doctor who is more understanding? I found female doctors with kids to be much more on the same level since they are mums themselves!
I'm glad you are on the road to recovery though.
