Poor Olivia!

It has been a rough 3 weeks in the life of Olivia starting with getting her tooth pulled 3 weeks. Who would have known that would be the easy part!!!

She has been running a fever on and off for the past two weeks, missed 4 days of school, would have been five except yesterday was a teacher inservice day. The plan was for the girls to go to school on Friday, with Mommy. At some point in the middle of the night on Thursday Olivia came into our room complaining of her ear hurting. A heating pad and some Tylenol helped but the poor girl was definately in pain.

The three of us went to school on Friday and I called the doctor's office at 9 when they opened. Olivia was sooooo out of it at school. She just did not feel well. I taught my first class, supervised my studyhall, and then walked out the door at 10:30for her appointment. Dr Davies looked in her healthy ear then looked in her achy ear. His reaction was enough for me to know it was a bad ear infection. The first ear infection EVER in the Sheehan household...we are fortunately not one of those families that are constantly getting ear infections. He immediately put some drops in her ear to numb the ear so it wouldn't hurt so bad and sent us on our way with a couple of prescriptions. (Before we left Em was able to get the H1N1 mist, already had the regular flu mist, so she is good to go...got to get O back when she is healthy for hers).

Olivia fell asleep at 11:00 in the car ride home and slept until 3:30...guess she didn't get much sleep at all the night before, I know I didn't! So I snuck a nap in for an hour with her while Emma was a trooper and kept herself busy doing who knows what!

Emma and I went to the Sectional Volleyball games last night and left sick Olivia home with Marc. Emma is starting to take a liking to the sport and is going to start playing a little this winter with a U12 team. Let's hope she likes it because it sure was nice sitting in a warm gym watching VB...I would NOT make a good soccer mom watching games from my car so I can keep warm! LOL
