風邪、風邪、風邪!!!/sick, Sick, SICK!!!

読者の皆さんこんにちは...みなさんが気づいている通りこの頃マディソンのする新しい事がポストされていないんだけど、なぜなら
Greetings our faithful readers... As you have noticed we haven't posted any new exciting things Madison does but that's because

ここ３週間クライン家は風邪と戦っているからです!!!!!!
WE'VE BEEN SICK FOR THE LAST THREE WEEKS!!!!!!

３週間ずっとじゃないけどひいたり、ひかなかったり...説明します...
Okay, on and off for the last three weeks... Let me explain...

約３週間前のある日デイブが学校から風邪っぽいかなって言う症状を家に持ち帰ってきました。マディソンが風邪を引くと本当に可哀想なんだよね、鼻上手にかんだり咳上手にしたり出来ないし夜とか鼻が詰まって上手く息出来ないで起きちゃうし...小さい子が病気になると本当に可哀想だよね、だからデイブにお願いだから私達に移さないでって頼んでそれから４日間症状無し、だからもしかして勝利と思い始めていたらその翌月曜日に寒気が...：(それは２週間前の月曜日の事...でもそれから３日間家でゆっくり休んで鼻水と咳だけになって、あっ治って来たかもとおもっていました...
It all started about three weeks ago when Dave came home from work with a bit of cold. I absolutely hate to see Madison sick because she doesn't know how to blow nose or cough efficiently yet so she would wake up in the middle of the night screaming because she can't breath well, etc... and it's just really sad to see your little one sick! So I nicely asked Dave to please do not pass your sickness to me or Madison... Well We fought it for good four days or so and when I was starting to think we may have just done it, we caught it...:-( That was two Mondays ago... We took it easy and felt like we were recovering well so we went and did our normal things that week with a bit of runny nose and cough...

でも次の月曜日にまだ鼻水と咳が続いていて週末中にケロッとしていたデイブに同じ様な症状が...良くない気配が：(そしてその２、３日前から止まらない咳が出る度にゲーするようになってしまったマディソン、毎日最低一回は吐いていました。そしてひどくなったのがよる３界から回ぐらい咳をしながら起きてオマルの容器に吐く始末...
The following Monday we still had runny nose and cough then Dave started to have similar symptoms over the weekend... Not too good:-( Around that time Madison and I started this violent cough parade which Madison can only stop by vomiting... So for about a week or so Madison has been vomiting everyday. Worse than that Madison would wake up 3 to 5 times a night coughing up violently and half the time she ends up vomiting into her potty bucket...

今週の月曜日にデイブがお休みだったから３人揃ってお医者さんに２週間前に予約を取ってあったので、みんなで行ってきました。まず９時５０分に私とデイブがお医者さんに風邪の症状を見て貰いました。でもこれはウイルス性の風邪だから自分の体の免疫性が戻って来るまで安静しているしかないから処方する薬は無いって言われてガッカリ...そしてその後２階にマディソンのお医者さんに会いに行ったんだけど、予約が無いって言われて、何だそれ!?２週間前に予約したのは確実なのに...それを聞いて自分でもガッカリしたのかマディソンは１階でゲーッ!!今日見てもらわないと困るともう一回２階に戻って何とか次のステップでもある待合室へ...出て来た看護婦に今日は忙しいから結構待たなきゃいけないよと言われて、“あんたバカじゃないの、絶対予約したんだから”と言うのをこらえて長ーい間待った後来た違う看護婦がコンピューターでもう一回調べると、予約してた！慌てて出て行った看護婦がお医者さんを呼びに行ってやっと先生に見てもらえる事になりなした...ハー疲れた！

Luckily we had made our doctor's appointment two weeks ago for this past Monday since Dave was off, but it didn't go as we hoped of course... While I was getting no medicine from my doctor Dave finished not getting any medicine from his doctor and headed to Madison's Ped floor for her appointment, well when he told the receptionist they were there for her 10:45 appointment the receptionist told him her appointment is not in the system... Are you kidding!? So then I'm not sure exactly how it happened but they ended up on 1st floor slipping some paper underneath some door for a chance that Madison can see someone today... That's when I got a text from Dave saying they are on 1st floor and as I was leaving the doctor's office he called and told me that Madison just threw up on 1st floor and that he was told Madison's appointment does not exist... I was really furious because we knew for sure we made the appointment for Madison today and wanted to go up to the ped's floor and yell at the receptionist but since I had to drop off something in the lad downstairs Dave went back up with Madison while I stood in line. Let me pause and tell you about this St*p*d hospital called Kaiser Parmanente... This is what our insurance is called and how it works is that you go to a huge building consists of many doctors so good thing is we can get all our doctor's visits taken care of in a same building but they don't have Emergency Care and tons of people waiting and on that day a big issue with appointment we made. Well, Dave somehow(I think by being nice!?) succeeded in squeezing into today's schedule and was waiting in the ped's waiting room... well that's good but the nurse came out and told us we will have to wait for a while because they are trying to fit us in their busy schedule, fine! just hurry! After weighing and measuring Madison we waited for a doctor in a small room for what we felt like a really long time and about noon another nurse came in... then she punched something in the computer and found out that WE DID HAVE AN APPOINTMENT!!(We weren't crazy!!!) it just wasn't placed in the doctor's schedule somehow... so she left to get the doctor quickly and the doctor came to take us to her office...

でも結果は両親と同じ...薬無し!!!!!安静にしていればすぐに良くなるって...それを聞く為に休日の午前中まるまる使って来たのか？しかも病院の責任で一時追い返されたり長い間待たされたり...しかも帰り際に先生に勧められて来月の予約を取ったのは良い物の、看護婦しか予約をコンピューターに入れられないからってメモを残したこの先生の事信用していいのか...
嫌な予感...　次に同じ事起こったらいつも冷静なデイブもキレるんじゃないかな!?早く保険会社替えよーっと：）

And you can guess what happened next right!? She didn't get the medicine!!!!! All of us apparently have some kind of virus thing but since we don't have any fever we just have to let our immune system take over and wait it out... UGH! Plenty of rest and fluids, bluh, bluh, bluh! and it will probably take another week or so to completely go away, BLUH!! Then the doctor said there is no shot records on file for Madison... EXCUSE ME!?? I am 100% sure we brought her shot record with us the last time we came for her 18month check up and I remember nurses complementing on her health chart from NYC(not how healthy she was but how the growth chart and shot records are nicely kept in a sheet of paper...). What is wrong with these people!? This place is such a disaster!! Then the doctor proceeded to make our next appointment next month as she explained to us they don't let doctor's make appointments in the system... What!? Oh yes, she is leaving a note for the nurses so that they can put our appointment in the system... Wow, this is leading to another disaster visit next month and I don't think Dave can be so friendly to them if they lose our appointment again... We'll see... I'm just looking forward to switching our insurance to Blue Shield in the near future...:-)

P.S. アリソンからのコメントを読んで思い出したんだけ、この３週間の経験で習った良い事とと言えばマディソンが自分で鼻をかむ事が出来る様になった事：）明日でこのウイルスに私達の体を乗っ取られたて３週間、マディソンの新技がとても役に立っている今日この頃です!
P.S. Alyson's comment reminded me that I forgot to tell you one positive result from this messy three weeks... Madison learned to blow her nose!!!:-) Tomorrow is our three week anniversary of this virus taking our bodies over and Madison's ability to blow her nose is coming in very handy!
