I wish doctors would listen to me

I’ve been saying this since I was pregnant with Emily and today was no different.

After 5 hours at the hospital, we were right, not exaggerating and the blood work proved it.

I’m not going to get in any details here but I wish that my opinion into my child’s well being would be considered.

When I tell the doctor that Emily lying around in her pj watching tv is unusual and a sure fact that she’s not well… To answer me that it’s pretty typical of a 16 year old is not ok!

I’ve been my girl’s advocate since before she was born. I have kept track of so many things over the years that I can answer almost any questions about my girl.

When we finally decide to take her to see the doctor, I wish they would listen to me.

Yes, she will be fine. It might take a day or two…. Maybe three or a week. Who knows but she’ll be fine because her parents (Jon and I) don’t give up. We keep track of everything than ask the real questions and push for tests.

That’s our job and we wouldn’t trade it.

Here’s my lovely girl yesterday!

Halloween costumes

They are are!

Yes, I said they!

Costumes, with a “s”

For many years now, I’ve been ordering Emily’s Halloween costumes on-line as everything in store that fits her is a sexy something. Mostly witches.

This year, she looked at the Frozen costume which wasn’t great quality. She also wants to win some costume contest at school so the Frozen queen is probably not the way to go.

Here are the final top 3

She didn’t want to listen to me saying the Flash was a little too sexy.

We thought the Angry bird would speak to the age group.

And the giraffe with a pair of brown leggings would look so cute.

The costumes arrived this morning and it just happened that I’m off today so here is our impromptu fashion show.

Please tell me which one you think she should wear to school on October 31st!!!
