Back to School Breakdown

After picking Ben up at the bus stop yesterday, Matt announced his ear hurt. After Tylenol and ear drops, he napped (miracle) and woke up for dinner whining. I knew my night was doomed! We put all of the kids to bed. Dan takes Ben to the bathroom, notices Ben is super hot. He complains of a sore throat. Tylenol and back to bed. Abbie still hasn't gone to sleep yet. Lay down with Abbie. Abbie has an appointment already scheduled for Thursday for a runny nose and cough... Fall asleep with alarm set for 6 am to call pediatrician for necessary appointments.

Ben wakes up at 4 needing more medicine. Back to sleep. Ben wakes again at 5. Dan lays down with him. Weird dreams about a bug.

Call at 6, get appointments at 1:40, 2 and 3. Super! Matt wakes up cheerful after a full nights rest. Didn't see that coming. He went to school. Ben stayed home with his fever.

We survived the appointment. Ben has a viral sore throat that is going around. Matt has his first ear infection. Abbie is going to try Claritan for what could be seasonal allergies.
