The flowers prove it!!

So yesterday was a long day sitting in the ER! My daughter has been complaining on and off about a stomach ache for the last 4 days. So after I tried everything I knew to cure her I decided that we had better get her looked at.
I phoned her doctor - who seems to be on hiatus in Mexico until March - and the doctor covering for her isn't in until Thursday. So I waited another 2 hours to see if the symptoms really needed a trip to the ER. She let me know every 20 minutes that her tummy hurt. So off we went.
We have never had to wait over an hour in High River to get in. Maybe because my kids are ususally more apparently sick than she was yesterday. So needless to say we waited for 5 and 1/2 hours until we were called back. A little excessive I know but I had to wait, I was not taking her home just to have her cry through the night.
After all that we were seen for a whole 10 minutes and diagnosed with "gastritis"! And told to go home and give her tums?!!? While we were leaving the nurse ran out to say that she found white cells in her urine sample so they were going to send it to the lab!!!
Needless to say we are going to see her "covering" doctor tomorrow to see what the results are. Poor girl - she has been on Motrin all day today - and it is like clockwork ~ every 6 hours she complains of a tummy ache. Good thing tomorrow is only one Motrin dose away.....
So while I sat at the hospital with her her dad was having flowers picked up for me in Calgary! Sweetie- he said they were because I was the "best Mom in the world" , I just did what any mom would do, but I think he was just amazed that I would sit there for that long with a kid on my lap! When there is doubt in the future of my parenting skills I will still have the picture of the flowers to prove otherwise!!!!
