This evening Jacob and Nalin each had a friend over for a sleep over. At about 7:00 p.m., Aleena started screaming from her room.
I ran upstairs and saw her standing naked in her room, with tears streaming down her cheeks. She kept yelling how her butt hurt, but wouldn't let me examine her. I tried to ask her some questions to find out what had happened, but she was just too upset.
After talking to Tim, I thought that perhaps she had not gone to the bathroom in a while and was having difficulty. I decided to take her to the nearby clinic to have her checked out. Of course, when I mentioned the word doctor, Aleena grew even more hysterical.
Over Aleena's strenuous and loud objections, we went to the clinic. By the time that we arrived, Aleena had stopped crying and the pain seemed to have at least lessened. The doctor examined her and found that while her stomach was a bit extended, she was not "backed up" so to speak. She gave her some medicine for gas. The doctor also noticed that Aleena's eyes were a bit red, probably from her allergies and gave her some eye drops.
By the time that we arrived back home, Aleena was tired but fine. Of course, once she saw Nalin and her friend, well, the tired part subsided.
