The gist
At two in the morning, my daughter's fever spiked to 106°F.
Clutching my convulsing four-year-old, I knelt outside the emergency room, frantically dialing my husband's number.
When he finally answered, I choked back a sob and pleaded:
"The doctor said she needs to be admitted right now or the seizures will fry her brain. Can you please just Venmo me three thousand dollars?"
All I got from the other end was his deep, irritated sigh.
"It's just a fever, Nora. Can't you just give her some Tylenol? I'm in an important meeting. Stop bothering me."
Three minutes later.
