Went into town today because I had to take the girl child to to doctors. She has had this pain in her side on and off for months now, every now and then she will let me know she is hurting, and sometimes it goes on for days, then we dont hear anything about it for a week. Anyway, she has complained a couple times now and I have given her panadol a couple days running, so I figured it was time we look into it.
I have mentioned it to the dr before but today we had to see a different doctor - seems hard to see the same dr twice in this town. We have to monitor her pain over the next fortnight, and if there are more than 5 days where she mentions pain, she has to have an abdominal ultrasound. He said these aches and pains are common in kids around this age and that sometimes it is just a stress reaction. And I instantly felt like a terrible mother. Fuck knows there has been stress around here this last year or so, so maybe thats it. But I still dont want to think that my little girl is stressed. At 7 years of age. She is far too young to be stressed.
So I am going to go play a game of uno with my girl, and hope that she is better soon. I wish I knew all the answers, but in the meantime, just gotta bluff my way through and pray I dont screw them up!
