17th month - 7 March 2007

Ash had not pooed for 2 days, and this morning she woke up crying trying very hard to poo. She was also running a fever. No matter how hard she strained, she still couldn't do it. She had been at it for almost 1.5hrs.
At 8.30am, we decided to bring to the nearby GP's clinic instead of Dr. Vanessa's which only opened at 9.00am. We only got to to see him at 9.00am. In between, Ash had vomitted twice outside the clinic...BIG mistake on my part for not waiting for Vanessa. Why ? This was the quackest of quack doctors that I've ever had to see !!!!!!! All thru the consultation, he was treating us as though we were imbeciles and mocking us. I'll say no more.
Ash was precribed a Microlax, which we had to administer ourselves. The administering of the Microlax was a failure. I didn't insert it quite far enough for it to work.
We brought her to Kidslink to see Vanessa and within 10 mins of the Mircolax, and lots of crying, we smelt the sweet smell of Ash's poo. Believe me, after seeing her strain thru the morning, poo never smelt sweeter....ha ha ha.
