Yippee! Bethany finally started school today. It's only taken over seven months and lots of meetings and headaches, but finally she started. I'm not sure what she did or how she liked it, because she won't talk about it (no surprise there), but at least she's not crying and saying she doesn't want to go back.
I wasn't sure today if she was going to make it. Last night she started saying that her ear hurt. She's prone to ear infections, so I was groaning inside that we'd be back at the doctor and she wouldn't make it. We gave her some Tylenol, and that helped enough that she was able to go to sleep. She's more or less been on Tylenol since then, but at least she was able to go to school.
I took her to the doctor after school was over, which was NOT a pleasant experience. I don't know if she was still upset from the pink eye visit the other day, but she really didn't want the doctor looking in her ear. I ended up holding her on my lap while Nate held her legs and some assistant helped hold her head while the doctor checked her ears. She screamed so much she made Sean cry and then she started puking in my lap. A lot. It was pretty gross. She kept saying it wasn't fair. I wonder if she even knows what that means. Of course she was perfectly fine by the time we got home. It was rather depressing, though. I thought we'd gotten past the whole freaking out at the doctor phase. Sigh.
