ear infection

Appointments, Things I Google, and Our Duties

Our week started off with a bang: Dakota has been sick and had a coughing fit that scared me. She was gasping for air, so congested, and her eyes were goopy. I called our pediatrician’s office and had her seen. Poor Kota Bear has her first ear infection. I’m glad I brought her in when I did because the doctor said her eardrum was bulging (but thankfully it didn’t rupture!).

Now we’re doing ten days of antibiotics and she’s taking them like a champ. She has been so pleasant despite being sick. Early one morning, she was coughing and sniffling at 3:00 am and Jimmy was using a bulb syringe to suction her nose and she was smiling so hard at him! Who does that 🤣 (more…)

I’ve been taking the kids to Jimmy’s work a few days each week to do school there. One day, we brought in stickers and paint so Sadie could decorate some work gloves for a few employees and she also put stickers on a welding helmet for one of the workers.

I wonder if she will do any welding when she grows up! This week she told me she wants to be a gymnast.

Mordecai… I think he just wants to be healthy?! We were back at urgent care for the second time in two weeks. This time, he had another ear infection and hand, foot, and mouth disease. Poor guy is all blistered up. (more…)
