Last night I had to take Isabella into Misericordia urgent care as she has a fever that came out of nowhere, and shot up really high.
She went from a totally active, happy two year old to a feverish, lethargic, exhausted kid in a matter of a couple of hours! She didn't even want to eat and you know Bella has gotta be sick if she won't eat!
Anyway, once we finally got to triage, the nurse checked her blood pressure, her temperature and then put her hand on Bella's tummy while she kept time on her watch.
Bella watched what she was doing, and then piped up, "I sink you need a step-a-scope!"
The nurse couldn't believe it! She blushed and said she had actually lost her stethoscope and couldn't find it. Bella was right! She did need her stethoscope, the nurse said most two year olds can't even SAY "step-o-scope", and Bella even knew what it was for!
Yup! My little Dr. Bella made her first diagnosis.
(By the way, as it turned out, her fever was due to TWO ear infections! Poor thing!)
