A Not So Good Night. . . . .

Friday was not a good night at all. Kristen woke up at 12.30am and came in to my room saying her ear hurt :-( I knew straight away that she was probably getting an ear infection, not surprising with all the congestion she has. I gave her some Motrin and sent her back to bed in the hopes she would be able to fall asleep and at least get through the night without too much discomfort. Not gonna happen - three minutes later she was back saying it still hurt, and she wanted to stay with me. Jason hadn't even come to bed yet, he was still downstairs watching tv. So, I put a note on the bedroom door (no need for us all to have a bad night) so that he could go sleep in the spare room and not be disturbed. I just knew it would be a long night. Poor Kristen couldn't sleep at all, which of course meant I couldn't sleep. Thankfully she wasn't crying, but she was pretty miserable. Finally around 5am she dozed off and so did I. We woke around 8am!

At 9am we were in the car headed for 'Rapid Care'. I love this place... if it weren't for the fact that our insurance pushed up the co-pay to $50 per visit, (it was only $25 until I had to go there twice this past year!) I'd go there all the time (it's open 365 days a year) and wouldn't even bother trying to get in at the Dr's office. But of course the Dr's office isn't open on Saturdays, so we had no choice today. We were seen within 10 minutes and half an hour later came out of there and headed to the pharmacy to fill the prescription for an antibiotic. The rest of the day Kristen spent on the sofa or playing on the floor with her toys. She didn't have much appetite and was pretty tired. But last night she slept great and seems much better this morning. She's still very congested but we're over the worst (I hope).

Tomorrow is New Years Eve. We plan on just going next door to our neighbors (Connor's house)
like we did last year. Cheryl sent a flyer around to the neighbors inviting us in and to bring a dish to share and our own drinks. That's a great idea, less stress for her and less booze she needs to buy ;-)

I've got lots of fun knitting to get on with, (and housework, but that can wait!), so I'll jump off here and wish you all a happy Sunday - the last one of 2007!
