What's up doc?
I feel like I've spent the entire week sitting in various doctors' offices !
Monday was Juliette's 9 month checkup (first time she didn't need a jab but she looked at the doctor and sceamed so I think she remembers !!!)
On Wednesday afternoon, I gave Sophie a bath and when she got undressed, she had pink spots all over her body except on her face and hands (the bits you could see with clothes on !) Got a doctor's appointment for the evening but as the day progressed, they got paler and paler. By the time we saw him, it just looked like eczema. He said you can't know what it is without doing a bloodtest but it could be German measles or something similar.
Thursday morning was Sophie's eye test - she's got a serious "astigmatism" problem - which means her eye is oval as opposed to round, so straight lines are blurred and it's hard to differentiate between letters that look alike like H or N (or for her, a boat and a house). It's a condition that doesn't get better so she'll need glasses for the rest of her life. Went off to the opticians and chose her glasses - a pink pair and a blue pair (she's all chuffed and thinks she's very cool !!!) You buy one pair and get one free, which is just as well at those prices - €250 (about £175), but some of that (not sure how much yet) will be reimbursed by the health cover. We'll pick them up next week so I'll take photos then !
And to top it all off, I feel like I've got the flu ... and Juliette screamed the house down from 3-5am last night (maybe she's feeling rough too). But it is a 3-day weekend so everybody can rest up and chill out !
