An Evening Stroll














It's been a rough week round these parts. Maddie had an ear infection that turned into another ruptured ear drum. (she had one last year too) I've been trying to get her an appointment at Children's Hospital ENT but it's a LOOONG process. First you have to get a referral from the pediatrician, then Children's has to process the referral which takes 24-48 hours. In our case we're on 48 hours +, and then it appears there can be up to a two month wait to get an appointment. We have her on antibiotics now but I'd like her to see a specialist to figure out why we're going from a somewhat typical ear infection to pus explosion.
Kip got sick and had to take Friday off of work thanks to a massive soar throat and high temp.
Yesterday I decided to take the girls and Rudder out of the house and go for a nice jog. It was so beautiful out and the rain is predicted to come soon. Maddie who refused to nap earlier in the day was eerily quiet after a short time-she was passed out. After the run I was even able to get her buckled into the car seat still asleep. That is until I accidentally got Rudder's tail in the door and he panicked and jumped from the cargo area onto her. Whoops.
Here's to a better next week!

poor mouse, ear infections are not fun for anyone in the family. It was great to see you all, if too briefly. And Mads didn't seem sick at ALL, judging by that plate of cookies.
