Our first day in Atlanta was horrrrrible. The night we got there was pretty uneventful. We checked in. I unpacked (Lee doesn't; I do. Tomato, tomahto). We drove around for a while, looking for a battery for Lee's phone (that we ended up not needing) until we couldn't stand it anymore, then stopped at a Papa John's and ordered some pizza we had delivered. On a side note: does anyone know why the shop beside the pizza place had "Massage Colon" on its sign? Seriously, what???
When we finished scarfing down what is certifiably the BEST PIZZA ON THE PLANET, we settled in for a well-deserved rest.
They got it. Trace and I...
After a night of mostly hourly awakenings and a steadily increasing temperature, we woke and got everyone ready for breakfast downstairs. Let me tell you guys, Residence Inn at Peachtree Corners really puts on a spread. I HIGHLY recommend that place. Poor Trace threw up at the table that first morning, the second of four times that day. After we dropped Daddy off at the training center (seriously, he could have walked every morning: it was two blocks away. But I digress...), we hit the nearest Target for a thermometer and infant Tylenol, two things I almost packed and then laughed at myself for wanting to pack TOO much, as usual. After confirming Trace had a temperature of 102, I called his doctor at home, who urged me to bring him in as soon as possible. Only problem? I'm 4 hours away. 'Take him to the nearest ER,' I was told.
Had I known what was going to take place, I would have had a shorter day by driving him back home, checking in with Dr. Bang, and then bringing him back to Atlanta... but hindsight is 20/20, and I'm legally blind without these glasses... (plus, that's a big waste of gas!)

Urgent care centers were our best friend on our last vacation. Skip the ER next time and find one. They get you in so fast and are really good doctors. The 4 times we went in one week were fantastic!!!
ReplyDeleteSorry you had so much trouble, though. Sick babies are no fun!
Are those the ones you'll find hidden away in a strip mall? I'm just so scared to trust one. But four times in one week? I think I would have gone home by then! Was it Asher?
