Waiting Game!

UPDATE!!!!: Courtney is now scheduled for surgery on Friday Feb 1!!!!! Yeah!

I have a horrible headache today. No, it’s not from drinking too much last night. It’s from stress. I am so stressed and frustrated that I want to go to the top of Pikes Peak and scream until I feel better. What on earth could make me feel so stressed? Courtney’s ears! I have been waiting since Tuesday mid-day for her ENT’s office to call me back to schedule surgery. I called and left another message yesterday. Courtney finishes her last dose of antibiotics tonight. And then she is done. There is no more the pediatrician can do for her. Of course Courtney still has a runny nose, so if her ear isn’t still currently infected, it will be soon. And since there is no more the pediatrician can do for her, now we start to worry about damage. Ugh, it’s so frustrating. I want to take her to the hospital and sit there until they get her in for surgery. I feel very stuck at the moment, and helpless. Her pediatrician is not back in the office until tomorrow. So, I can’t even have her poke the ENT’s office with a stick on her side or refer us elsewhere.

I am still pretty sure her ear is still infected. She cried out a few times last night. And she has been super crabby this morning. So, I suspect it’s still there. Arrgg!!!
