Happy Heart Day!!!

Nick and I spent last night passing Easton back and forth trying to get him calm and comfortable enough to sleep. Most of our attempts failed miserably. He was diagnosed with a double ear infection, AGAIN, on Friday. The doctor prescribed the same drugs he was on last time. Which was only 3 weeks ago. She then scheduled us to go back in 3 weeks for a recheck to make sure they’ve cleared up. If not, we will have to see an ENT doctor. Anyway, back to last night, it was day 4 of antibiotics so they should have kicked in by now. But clearly they have not. He spent the night crying and screaming and tugging on his ears. We got him calmed when Nick had to idea to put ear muffs on him. He at least settled for about 15 minutes or so. We couldn’t even calm him enough to give him Tylenol. I tried once, it only caused him to throw it all back up. He finally fell asleep at about 2:45 this morning. My alarm went off at 4:00.

I called and spoke with a nurse and she agreed that he should be seen again by the dr. So back we go again this afternoon, another $45 copay, and more missed work. Aaahhh…..the joys. But, there isn’t anything I wouldn’t do to help him feel better!!

Omar had his friend Joe over to play for a while last night. Nolan was SO excited that he got to join in. 3 little boy running around downstairs having a nerf war is pretty fun. Nick said, this age of having friends over to play, and going over to their friends house came way too fast! I agree. My little babies have grown so much.

I left them each a little valentine pile of goodies this morning. Nolan was thrilled with his star wars M&M treat and heart balloons. I also made them some scratch off tickets. I think they’ll get a kick out of those. Our plans for the evening are to make homemade pasta and alfredo sauce with lobster. And for dessert, chocolate fondue! They don’t know about the dessert. I think they’ll be pretty excited. I have banana’s, strawberries, mango, marshmallows, graham crackers, and pound cake. I pray that Easton feels ok to be patient while we make pasta.

Happy Valentines Day!!!
