In addition, I pulled a
tick off of her last Thursday. I got most of it but it was tiny so it
was hard to tell if any was left in her skin. I finally called the
doctor yesterday because I was at my wits' end and couldn't handle the
crying any more. The triage nurse called me back yesterday and freaked
out that Emmy had been bitten by a tick. I told her that there was no
sign of infection - it wasn't even red but she told me that I needed to
bring her to the ER right away. There was NO WAY that I was going to do
that - the ER at Ft. Belvoir is horrendous and we would have sat there
for 5 hours before they told me nothing was wrong. I called this
morning and got an early appointment. We saw the pediatrician who was
puzzled as to why we were there for the tick bite since it looked just
fine (redemption!!) BUT she does have ear infections in both ears -
which, although is sad and painful - is GOOD because we got antibiotics
and she'll be back to herself by tomorrow. She might even sleep
tonight!!
