I sometimes wonder why I even went through 2 years of PA school costing $50,000 (which by the way, by God's kindness we were able to payoff) to now be at home full time. I know I will always be able to return to work if I need to & I am grateful for that. I do love medicine. I marvel at how God made the body & all it's systems & how they all function together to give us life. Just think about the human eye with all the rods & cones (remember anatomy?), and a built in lens...how amazing is that!
Well, speaking of the eye, now all 3 kids have conjunctivitis...Matthew had it first and is much better. Adrienne had a mild case & received her drops like a champ. And now Madison has 2 puffy, red & draining eyes...YUCK!
Well this morning I realized that over the past 6 years I have been able to care for my children as a mom, but also as a PA. Here are some of the medical conditions I have seen...
Conjunctivitis
Otitis Media & Otitis Externa
Eczema
Croup
RSV
URI
Asthma
Pneumonia
Viral Gastroenteritis
Large Bowel Impaction
Head, Chin & foot lacerations
Radial Head Subluxation (Nursemaid's Elbow)
...just to name a few.
