Doctors, doctors, doctors

So we had an eventful last few weeks. Mattie visited the Children's ER for the first time for a high fever 2 Sundays ago. It turned out to be an ear infection AGAIN! It was scary because he had such high fever -- 103 despite Tylenol. Then 3 days later, I started bleeding. So I freaked thinking I have a miscarriage. We visited ER at St Michaels. It turns out I had a small hemorrhage by my placenta but the baby is alive and kicking. Now I am not suppose to hold anything heavy --- meaning no carrying Mattie. Mattie isn't happy about that change.

What we thought was strange about my ER visit was that I was sent home without a diagnosis because the ultrasound dept is closed after hours. However, when I asked if they can at least Doppler the baby's heart beat, they were like, oh we have a portable ultrasound that maybe able to detect the baby. I was like, that's bring it out.. duh!! Then I had to go back the next day --- except the phone number they gave me didn't work so Peter had to go over the floor and make an appointment for me. After 3 hours I finally got an ultrasound and reeived my results from a resident. Talk about efficiency!

Now we are unsure where we wnat to deliver my second baby... seems like I would have a complicated pregnancy and the hospitals here seems to suck.
