Boy, have we had a rough week of LOVE! Lila started running a fever Tuesday night, so I took her to the Dr. and yep...ear infection. They put her on antibiotics. She did not sleep well and was up multiple times during the night. I felt like she was not getting any better, but she had only had 2 doses of medicine. When she woke up from her nap Thursday, her eyes were totally swollen. I started freaking out, as I was afraid it was an allergic reaction to the medicine. I called the Dr., but they thought it was just the cold moving to her eyes. That night she was up ALL night and still running a fever. At 1:30 in the morning when her eyes were totally swollen shut I called the triage nurse. Again, she thought it was just the cold and said it would have to run its course. In the meantime, Graham was up several times in the night. Luckily, Michael stayed home with us Friday morning. I went to the grocery store because we were having our friends from Asheville coming in to visit. I was so worried about Lila getting them sick. That afternoon, Lila was STILL running a fever so I knew that something just wasn't quite right. I called the Dr. and again and she said it sounded like the anitbiotic wasn't working! Oh my..I feel like the worst mom in the world. After actually getting antibiotics in her that worked, it was amazing how quickly she felt better. I should have known when she was on the first antibiotic when she was only getting worse that something wasn't right. When I took her in they said that her ear was just on fire. Poor thing. I will say, we saw a new Dr. who I absolutely LOVED! Maybe because she told me how bright Lila was. I mean, who doesn't love to hear that about their child?!? :)
Here is our pitiful little girl:
(Yes, we are still wearing our Christmas PJ's.) Don't judge, they still fit and are cute!
The Kachilo's made it in late Friday night and Lila actually woke up and played with the boys for a while before we made her go back to sleep.
On Saturday the kids played and made Valentine's cookies while we got ready for our date night. We owe a BIG thank you to Keegan who stayed with all four kids while we went out. Graham would not take his bottle or let her put him down without screaming. I think he finally cried himself to sleep!
Here is Carey holding Graham. He is sporting his red socks in honor of Valentine's Day! :)
Here we are at the Predators game. We had a great time! The Preds won after going into overtime and a shoot out! We were happy to spend our LOVE night with some great friends.
We did decide to have our own family celebration on Sunday. Lila was still not feeling well and neither was Graham, (Note: that is why he is MIA from the pictures) but here are my little heartbreakers.
As you can see, Lila wasn't much in the Valentine's spirit at first. She finally mustered up a smile for us.
Happy Valentine's Day all!
