Howzvizits
The poor girl has had a continuous ear infection going on 3 months. We've tried 4 different antibiotics and 3 doctors. Our last antibiotic was Suprax. Our newest doctor lifted his graying, bushy eyebrows in surprise and said, "Suprax is a great medicine, but it doesn't do squat for ear infections. In fact it can often lead to [some horrible sounding thing that I can't remember]."
We're on antibiotic number 5 now, and finally, FINALLY have a referral to an ENT so we can get this child's ears fixed so that she can actually start talking. All this signing is wonderful and quite the party trick, but really, it's time for some more words.
Oh, interesting tidbit new doctor threw out. The reason The Netherland's antibiotic consumption is way lower than ours is because their doctors make housecalls. Except he said, house visits, but I heard howzvizits and thought it was some Dutch holistic treatment. So then looked like a giant weenie because he repeated himself and I was all, "ooooh. HOUSE VISITS. Yeah. I get it." And he was all, "retard."
So in summary, ear infections 5 / Rosie 0. Let's hope this one works or it looks like tube city for my girl. Anyone's kids have tubes? Let me know how it works.
