Guess what's the MOST fun? Guess! No, Guess!!!
A late-afternoon visit to the pediatrician on the first business day after Christmas!! Yay!!!!!!! (running out of exclamation points).
So at 3:35 the phone rang. Iain had a fever. Off I went, fetched him, and we headed to the Doctor's office. The office warned Charles that the wait would be "long," because Dr. W. was alone and it was busy.
Yowza. They were not kidding. Three families with three kids (one or both parent present), two families with two kids each, plus us plus a couple of ladies with one daughter. That's 15 children and about 9 adults (some parents went in and out in an effort to control the chaos). Madness, folks. Iain was a little weirded out by it.
And the wait? An hour in the lobby, then another 45 minutes total in the exam room. And I'm amazed/impressed that we got in at all. We were the last people to leave, after dark into the lonely, 25 degree parking lot. Boo.
But Iain passed yet another strep test, and received yet another antibiotic prescription to go with a nice cup of Motrin (his fever went upupup while we waited). His ear is still a little off and he has yucky stuff in his throat. Apparently this is going around. So he's back on the cherry yumyum for this week, trying to clear that ear before we fly on Friday. Fingers crossed.

Brutal. But I'm glad that Iain passed his strep test. That's a nice post-Christmas present.
