Taking stock

 Reviewing things, 5 of the past 6 posts have been about the kid getting sick. It's a fairly strong pattern. 

Three unrelated illnesses. None serious in hindsight. Although this one was painful enough for her, and resembled appendicitis more than the average stomach bug, that I took her to the emergency room later that day. And this week's illness resulted in two doctor's visits. One visit Monday because she complained about her ear hurting and in September we had ignored an ear infection for too long so this time we overcompensated, one yesterday for the test. In normal times we might have only taken her to the doctor for the ear infection in September. That's over roughly 2 months. Not great for a kid with no known chronic conditions, but it happens. As far as I remember we were perfectly healthy for months preceding that, but no one keeps track of when things go well.
