By the time we got to the doctors office (via the bank) Emma was in good spirits and really showing little sign of sickness. However she had a temperature of 100.9!
When the doctor came in and leaned over her Emma reached out for the stethoscope around her neck. She asked me if Emma would put it in her mouth! I said she might! She gave her the patient end which Emma promptly laid on her chest...
Both the doctor and I were astonished and I really shouldn't have been surprised. As I type she has the syringe and her g-tube and she's putting one into the other!! (The tube is not attached to her!!)
How poetic would it be if Emma grew up to be a doctor and saved lots of people!!
With regard to her ears, no change so we are going to leave her alone and keep and eye on it. I was invited to take her back at any point!!
In case you're wondering how I'm doing, better today! I'm still frustrated and tired - having a sick child is emotionally draining for any parent. For me it just compounds frustrations I have with the added complications of the CPAP etc. I'm still a work in progress and hopefully will grow in my ability to handle difficult situations!!

No surprise to me that Emma is a smarty pants!
