The rest of Christmas

Well.....our poor Nora got sick....on Christmas Day.  She had a rough night of sleep, but I didn't think too much of it because she has had a stuffy nose and it was a long Christmas Eve, just busy and off her normal routine.  She woke up quite a bit and slept until 9:45 Christmas morning.  Once she was up she was her normal Nora self.  We opened gifts, ate breakfast, opened more gifts, took a bath and then went down for a nap.  She woke up from her nap and was not our normal Nora.  She was crying and wanted to be held then didn't want to be held and it kept going in that circle.  She didn't want to eat or play.  I finally convinced her to lay on the couch and watch her new Shrek movie.  She did that, but was still sad and crying and then she started the ear tugging.  We looked to see if there were any Walgreens take care clinics open, but there were not.  We waited a little longer and the poor girl was miserable!!!  No one tells you that a piece of you heart breaks when your child is in pain.  I could hardly stand it she was so sad and hurting.  So Grandma found a clinic/immediate care that was open until 5:00 and we flew out the door, it was 3:50.  We got to the clinic, saw the dr. and had a script in our hands in under an hour.  She has a double ear infection!  This is our first time taking antibiotics for being sick.  We are so lucky, I know. I am so thankful for the dr. and nurses that were working in that clinic to make my daughter better!!!  She got some motrin in her and then her first dose of antibiotics and WOW, within 15 minutes she was back to her normal Nora self.  We continued on with the rest of Christmas and went to the Harrigan side of the family and had a great time.  Nora is feeling much better today!
