Violet's Cold Breaks Our Hearts For Another Day

My most interesting conversation yesterday:

“Hello. Orchard Park Pediatrics. How can I help you?”

“Hi. My wife and I were just there with our daughter. She has a fever, and I was wondering…the doctor told us to give her infant’s Tylenol. I bought infant’s Ibuprofen by mistake. It’s basically the same thing, right?”

“Oh, no. We do not recommend giving Ibuprofen to infants under six months old.”

“What if we already gave it to her?”

Pause.

Silence.

“You shouldn’t give her any more.”

131 days old
