Convenience care

Over the last 6 weeks we have been on and off sick. The kids and I anyway, Matt seems to be avoiding it (not fair). Livi and I both have had a cough for quite a while now. Last night and this morning before she went to school she sounded horrible. I called our pediatrician office and they couldn't get her in until Friday. So after I picked her up at school we went to the convenience care clinic our pediatrician office has up in Puyallup. It's a walk-in clinic that sees both kids and adults. I figured I might as well get checked out too. I was told it would be an hour wait. I should have left then. The hour wait turned into 2 1/2 hours before we were even seen by the doctor. Then after she came into the exam room she got called out again for another ten minutes. I picked Livi up at 11:45 am and we went straight there. We got home at 3:50pm. Both the kids were hungry and cranky and I was an hour late to work. Livi is fine, the doctor says her lungs are clear and the cough should go away on it's own. Since I have had the cough going on 6 weeks I got put on a antibiotic so hopefully it'll kick it out of my system.
