Noel had to get her finger rechecked today by Dr. Mel. It has already been 9 nine days and she is almost done with her antibiotics. The culture on it came back negative, but he was still very concerned. He told her it wasn't healing the way it should have and he wanted to change her antibiotics and give her a shot as well. Not good for Noel! She is terrified of shots and immediately went into panic mode. She called her dad to see if she had to have it (because I had told her she did!) and he of course said yes. She was not a happy camper and held onto me while Dr. Mel gave her a nice big one in the back hip. Oh boy, luckily she was half laying down because she went pale white and started to black out. We stayed in the room for a while and she's been resting all afternoon in the family room with her Cinnamon Pop Tarts and Power Aide I got her while picking up her prescription! Then later she took a warm bath and now is doing homework.
When Jeff came home he surprised her with a giant teddy bear that held a big red heart with the words "I Love You" on it! What a great daddy! Next visit - 5 days!!!

Oh dear! At least you've found a good doctor who wants to nip it in the bud!
So, even at that age, they still try to 'ask the other parent' to get out of things? :) Hope the shot takes care of it! Poor thing.
I'm the same way with needles...I can dish it, but I can't take it!! Very sweet of Jeff to bring her a "little" something to make her feel better! I'm sure it made her day! Hope the new meds do the trick!!
