The Daily Hailey

As I mentioned earlier, Rowan and Solly both have ear infections. I half expected Waverly to have one, too, but thank goodness we’re still in the clear on her. However, she looks the worst 😬

Music perks her up, but she doesn’t want to eat or drink or play, really. Poor baby. 

I figured I’d update on the boys. They’ve both had two days worth of their banantibiotics (see what I did there?) and there is definite improvement in their pain, thank goodness! I hated pouring all four little cups, two of amox and two of Tylenol, but it had to be done for a bit there. It seems we’re out of the super pain part, and now we just work on the healing!

Unfortunately, as I mentioned also, Solly’s eardrum is perforated. I feel pretty discouraged about that, because there was NO warning! He woke up after a long nap, around 4pm, crying about his ear. I got the soonest appointment I could – the next day at noon – and his eardrum was perforated 😔 Feels like a total mom fail. Regardless, it happened, and now we’re dealing with it. While he’s in less pain, he is a BEAR! He doesn’t want to do anything. He doesn’t want to eat or drink much at all, but don’t worry, I’m pushing fluids and making at least that happen. He is SO tired. Yesterday, he woke up for the day at 10am and was back in bed, fast asleep, but 11:30am. He slept until just before supper, and easily went to bed at 7pm. He must be feeling just so so crappy, poor guy. 

Rowan is definitely doing better. His eardrum was red and bulging, according to his doctor, but it seems like we might have avoided it bursting! He’s not on the same level of “out of sorts” as Solly is, and he’s eating better. 

Both boys, however, are deaf as posts. So thats fun, lol! 

This morning, Dekker is noticeably happier 🙂 He was already in better shape yesterday, but today he barely looks sick. Just that raw red nose needs to heal. And Laela is going great still. 

Brady and I aren’t 100% at all, but we’re moving forward! Brady has a full, gross, congested head cold. I, on the other hand, feel pretty fine except my throat is on FIRE! If I didn’t know better, I’d think I have Hand Foot Mouth. Because its just my throat and absolutely nothing soothes it. As in, drinking water burns. And with all the pain killers I’m taking, its pretty ridiculous that I’m still in this much pain 😳 

If you’re the praying type, please pray for our family, that health and wellness is in our near future. We are a bit struck down at the moment.
