WE HAVE AN ANSWER / RUDE PEOPLE

Today was a good & bad day all in itself. I finally found out exactly what is wrong with Charlii & while it is not such good news at least we now know how to treat it & make her better. What has happened is she has got a cold & due to her cold it has busted her eardrum!!!
After another restless night of screaming she was no better so this morning i took her straight to our local Doctor. Straight away he noticed that her ear was all gunked up (beagn in the wee hours of the night) & that it was busted. He sent me off to the chemist to get her some anti-biotics & i gave her some of that. Even since her first dose her ear has been leaking & so sore....poor little munchkin.

I am quite disappointed with the hospital actually. They checked her ears out & said that they were perfectly fine & that she just has a virus. Clint had a search on the net this morning & all the symptoms that Charlii has are the one's for a busted eardrum. She had those symptoms before we took her to the emergency & they didn't even pick it up! just sent us packing on the advice to give her panadol. Next time anything happens i won't take her to the same hospital, i will go straight to the Royal Children's Hospital in the city.
To make things even worse i was brought to tears last night by a nurse! Over in Australia we have a free service called "Nurse on call" & they are there to answer any questions & to give you advice on what to do. SO i have been chatting with them & they have been suggesting things to make her feel better. So i rang last night as Charlii's temperature shot up again & basically she made me feel so stupid & that i need to realise that "she is a little human being & that of course she is going to be crying". She then proceded to tell me that i had already rung them & nothing much has changed so why am i ringing? "what do you want from us, why are you ringing AGAIN" those were her exact words... i couldn't belive it. i felt like saying for some bloody advice! but i didn't.
She ended the phone call by saying that if i am that worried then i should take her to my local hospital, & then she hung up on me.
I tell you i wasn't expecting that. I was already fragile from worry i definately didn't need a lady telling me off.
I just broke down & rang Clint. I couldn't help my baby & the tears were just rolling down my face cos i felt like as a mum i should have known better.
In the harsh light of day today i have realised that she is the mean one & i have been doing everything correct. (I need to give myself some reasurrence)So i think i am going to put in a complaint about her because she is there to help not judge.

Sorry...that's my little vent out of the way so i think i am going to go have a lie down, i am so tired i can hardly see the words that i am typing.
