It was rare when we had to take our daughters to the doctor for anything other than their annuals. However, one year they both had to go in just a few weeks apart. The younger one got her thumb stuck in the hinge-side of a door (long story); then the older one was changing her earrings and somehow pulled the backing INTO her ear lobe!
My dumb a$$ doctor’s (err, nurse practioner’s?) office makes you fill out a form with all of your information everysingletime. The waste of paper, the waste of time — it just makes no sense. I tell them nothing has changed. They say it is a security measure.
Seeing Wanda needing to take her poor sick child out of the house to see the doctor somehow reminded me of those long-gone days when doctors made house calls.

Wonder what was happening two days ago- illness, injury, or preventative care?

Seeing how loopy Wren looks, this might actually be pretty serious.
