When she woke up she gave me this face. And my heart melted right there.
So we called and made an appointment and headed to ACH.
They are always so sweet with her there and this time was no different. I love the nursing staff there. After talking with the doctor, he recommended three days of rocephin injections to get rid of this ear infection, since she hasn't responded to the oral meds. The medicine wouldn't fit in one injection, so she had to have 2 shots (one in each leg). I'm so glad Alex was with me. He stood over her and held her hands while I stood back and cried. She cried so hard. She was worn out afterwards and quickly fell asleep in the truck.
We headed back for her 2nd round of shots on Sunday afternoon. She looks as though she remembers this place by the look on her face. Thankfully, she didn't cry quite as long and hard the second time around.
We came out of the appointment to snow falling hard! Amelia thought it was funny. We ran to the truck and started home.
It had only been snowing for about 30 minutes, but we saw dozens of wrecks on our way home. Arkansans freak at the mention of snow and lose all ability to drive sensibly. And can I just say, if you have a wreck...don't get out of your car. This is the worst thing you can do. You could be killed. Alex worked with someone that got out of his car to help someone in bad weather and he was struck by another vehicle and killed. So stay in your car, please?
Amelia slept really well last night. She slept until 10am this morning! She had a huge smile on her face when I went in to get her this morning.
We woke up this morning to a beautiful blanket of snow! We have at least 4". To some of you that might not be a lot, but to us that's a blizzard! We usually just get ice!
I opened the back door today to let her check out the snow for a few minutes. She acted as though she was afraid of it. She touched it once, but then wanted nothing to do with it. As soon as I shut the door, she started bawling and trying to open the door again. (LOL)
Amelia just woke up from her nap, so we're going to head back to Children's for her final round of shots. I'm thankful this is the last of them and that we see the ENT on Wednesday. Please pray that they'll know what's going on with our girl and that if she needs tubes, I'll have peace about that.
Oh, and check out this video. We've been saying the word doctor a lot to Amelia lately...she started repeating it over the weekend.
Hope you're enjoying a snow day too!
Love to all,
