Started at 3:13 am Saturday morning when NW came out of their room crying and hitting the left side of his head. He woke up with major ear pain. I gave him children's Tylenol and put a warm compress on it, rubbed his little head and got him back to sleep. He woke back up around 8 still in pain.
Since it was a Saturday, the pediatricians office was closed, I called their hot line, the nurse told me it could be an ear infection and to take him to the ER. The staff was awesome and we were thankful that no one else was waiting, we were able to walk right back in to a room. After an exam the Doctor confirmed that indeed it was an ear infection.
40.00 in prescriptions later and we were headed home. He was worried he had ruined my birthday. No he hadn't.
We got home, got things squared away and settled down. Senior was on his way home from his half day of work, and we began working on making a birthday brunch.. Scrambled eggs, toast and sausage. Once daddy was home the boys could not hold their excitement any longer they presented me with my birthday gifts: the boys made me some home made cards and Senior found the sweetest birthday/valentine card. I also got a bag of purple lilly bulbs, and money. I added it to the money my mom gave me and later in the afternoon we went to a bookstore, I had wanted to start reading the "Outlander" series by Diana Gabaldon, so I purchased the first book. Then we went to a deli for valentines/birthday dinner. I was treated to a piece of the most delectable chocolate cake I have ever tasted..
A not so great start to what ended up being a really good day...
Happy Birthday! Hope NW feels better. Let us know how Outlander is.

Haaaaaaaaappy Birthday to you!
ya, let us know about the Outlander series. i have heard nothing but good things about it. but if you got some spare cash left over - check out The Dovekeepers by Alice Hoffman and The Red Tent by Anita Diamont. neither of the books is a "romance" per se, but excellent reading about women and their trials in ancient times. both are of jewish historical background and are a lovely, sometimes sad read. i loved both books!
much love as always to you and yours Gurlie! your friend,
kymber
Gurlie You Rock! I think I could hear you singing from down here. Thanks for all the wonderful and loving words.
DeleteI love ya and it really does mean a lot .
I started watching the Outlander series on the Starz channel, but wanted to read the novels, because books are always better then the movies they are made in to. I think my sister and nece have read the dovekeeper series.
honestly hon - if what you heard was a mix of coyotes and bull mooses in heat all screaming at the same time - yep - that was me! and i am so glad that you heard my song all the way down there! i was standing on the hottub and just belting it out. i love you so much Gurlie!
DeleteSorry about the ear infection but at least you got it taken care of in a timely manner even if it was a weekend. Sounds like a nice weekend. Heads up though, the weather here tonight is abysmal and headed your way. Stand by for heavy rolls.
DeleteJUGM,
ReplyDeletePoor NW having an ear infection, those things hurt so much.
I'm happy to hear your ER was able to get him in and out right away.

Happy Belated Birthday my dear friend. Sending a Birthday hug your way.

Sandy
