Ohhhh Mary Blake

Do you see this sweet face?? Yesterday at the dr's office, I was trying to remind myself that this sweet, creative, delightful child was not possessed. . . That is harsh, you may think, but if you could call up Dr. Ireland he might agree.... So, yesterday I took the kids to make sure they didn't have strep - which they did. The first 15 minutes went smoothly - temp checked, weight checked, colored on the paper, laughed at dr ireland, etc. Got griff checked out (I mean why not - while we are there) and he had an ear infection. Great. Then Collins realized Dr. I had pulled out the long swabs. He started crying, but pulled it together when Dr. I promised a popsicle. Then came MB. Oh. my. word. The child fought the swab with all her might. I will spare you details, but a nurse ended up taking griffin for me, and 3 of us proceeded to hold MB down while Dr Ireland laid across her and pried her mouth open. This morning she woke up and said she had a bad dream. . . can you guess?? She dreamed she had to get swabbed again. . . poor girl. I did hug her and kiss her lots and lots and lots after the whole ordeal.
