Where to start....

Ear infection

Just not going away

Poor baby is now allergic to penicillin!

My poor baby girl! We had a follow up at the pediatrician last Monday. Her ear infection was not responding to the antibiotics. So, got a new script for amoxicillin which we started the same day. Almost a whole week goes by leading up to Saturday morning, and I notice two welts on Jillian's leg. Okay, we started to get some warm weather, and the little buggies were out and about....maybe an mosquito??? Maybe a spider??

We check the crib. Naturally nothing there. So, we watch the welts disappear by late afternoon. As with bug bites , I kept checking to see if they would reappear. Nothing. Now, it's Sunday morning, two new welts appear in a different area.

Coincidence?? Not! Jillian and I spent the night at Papa's house Friday night, and, Saturday night we were home. Same thing happens. The welts disappear. Monday morning (today) arrives, and the are a lot more welts on Jillian's legs! We call the pediatrician. The welts disappear by the time we get to the pediatrician.

Hives!! Jillian is allergic to penicillin. She still has an ear infection, and we now have a new script for zithromax. Sure hope this works!! Unless something happens with the new antibiotic, we have another follow up in three weeks. Keep your fingers crossed. I think we're still looking at tubes in the near future.

On a Happier Note......

We arrive home Saturday night...

To find a SURPRISE waiting for Jillian in the mail!!

Jillian's VERY FIRST VALENTINE!!

From the lovely Miss Lucy!!

Thank You, Lucy!!!

Thank you, Lucy, for my very Special First Valentine!! I loved the surprise!!

Chuck in 3D.....

We attempted to watch Chuck last night.

We had our 3D glasses ready.

See how they looked.

There was just one small problem.

In this pint size package.

Someone was just a little bit upset when I put my glasses on.

Jillian just went into a panic when she saw me wearing the glasses. Great big tears. Crying with deep heart wrenching sobs.

The glasses came off, and all was right with the world!

So, we watched the rest of "Chuck" Without the special 3D effects!

Happy Birthday, Baby....

17 Months Old Today!!

Also, Jillian says: "Wow"!
