A Trip to the Doctor

Hannah woke up complaining her ear hurt this morning. So into the Pediatrician we went. Just as I suspected...not only one infection, but double ear infections. Nasty infections according the Ped. Thankfully her lungs were clear and her fever broke last night. I think the worst of this illness is behind us.

Our Ped's office was empty when we arrived, but every mother you passed in the hall or in the waiting room when we came out, all had that same glazed over look, the look of having been up and down several times in the night with a sick child.

Hannah's not eating well. Her mood really stinks and we're sure it's due to not having eaten something substantial in 3 days. Now that she has antibiotics and cough medicine to take, she's giving us fits for not wanting those. I know that if she would just eat, and take her medicines without a fight, she'd feel better.

Poor girl. I hope she feels better quickly. Ear infections are so painful

Is she better today? I've been praying for her.

Ryan won't eat at all when he's sick either. In fact we have to force him to even drink. It's frustrating, huh?!

Yes, very frustrating. Her lips are sooo chaped and her nose is raw from all the wiping.

She saw a commercial on TV this morning that advertised Chronicles of Narnia Happy Meal toys at McDonalds, she's requested that for lunch. LOL. I told her she'd have to eat her hamburger or chicken before she could have the toy, she didn't exactly like that answer. LOL.
