Ears

Well, it was confirmed today.  My little guy has yet another ear infection.  I thought it was swimmer's ear and that we would just get some drops to clear it right up.  Well, I think I waited too long to get an appointment and it is now an infection.....in both ears.  Yesterday I figured we had moved past a simple case of swimmer's ear since he had a fever of 102 for about 24 hours.  Because of the holiday we had to wait even longer to get an appointment and then his pediatrician  is out of town so we had to wait until the PA was in the office.  We'll go back in 3 weeks for his yearly physical and check up of the ears.

Tomorrow is the last day for swim lessons.  We had to miss today because of the fever and ears.  We bought ear plugs for tomorrow and any future swim dates we have.  I thought for sure Andrew would be upset about having to wear ear plugs but he actually thought it was funny.  The kid used to have a phobia of band aids and now he wear ear plugs.  Crazy!

Did I tell you that I'm in my last class for my CLAD certificate?  Finally!  I'm in week 2 with a paper due tomorrow night.  After that, only 4 more weeks.  The last week will be awful again but I'm so ready to be done.  I think I will be able to face that week only because I know that's the end and there will be no more school!  I passed my last class and was thrilled.  She was picky with her grading but the last week I got full credit on both papers.  I'm glad because I worked really, really hard on those last 2 projects.  I was up past midnight every night that week getting my work done. 

I don't have anything else really exciting to share tonight.  I will have more pictures to post tomorrow after swim lessons.  The kids will get certificates and popsicles from their instructors.  I bought a bag of lifesavers for each of our instructors and made a tag that says, "Thanks for being a lifesaver!"  I found another cute one to save for next year.  I didn't have time to make it happen this year, but I think it is even better!

Oh, something else exciting............Grannylou is coming out on Saturday!  We are all so excited.  I wish we could see all of our family more often.  Hopefully sometime this fall or winter we can get back to IL and visit with everyone!
