Quick Update

Hello friends and family!

Kenzie and I (Hillary) had a very rough weekend (5/25-5/26). Kenzie is a tough little girl who isn't a big fan of q-tips. I know this because after her bath, she wiggles and screams when I try to clean her ears! On Friday, the 25th, she wiggled too violently and I scratched her ear canal, causing blood and a major mommy freak-out. It was 7:30 p.m. when this happened, so clearly all pediatricians were off and home. Lucky for me our pediatrician's office has an after-hours triage nurse available. I called and left a message, finally an hour later I was told to take her in immediately to be checked out. Ear trauma is taken seriously. She referred me to "Good Night Pediatrics" and when I *finally* found the location, we were on our way...

...45 minutes later we arrived! Yes, it took that long. I was directed towards the corporate office. BIG TIME GPS FAIL! We arrived at the actual location (3rd Ave and Clarendon) and were luckily the only ones there. Until a child the age of 8 came in with a foot that had been run over... BUMMER.

Around 9:45 we were seen by the doctor who took a long, thorough look in her ear. The canal had, in fact, been scratched. However the ear drum, thank goodness, was unharmed. It was a little red and irritated, but all-in-all OK. Nothing a little antibiotics couldn't treat. She fights us DAILY when it's time to give her the meds and drops, but we get it done! She even gets a little treat for being a good sport ;) She's doing fine, so yay!!

On a much happier note, I've cleaned out and sifted through my camera, and now have more room for more pictures. So enjoy!
