Ear infection :(

Well we missed family home evening last week because Kyle wasn’t feeling well, and Wednesday I had a meeting to go to, so we were just planning on doing the lesson today. Well after dinner, we were getting the kids in pjs and were going to go have family home evening right after that. But Dinah wasn’t feeling well at all. She was coughing and had a runny nose, and hadn’t eaten hardly anything all day (we fed her, she just wouldn’t eat) and it turned out that she had a fever. So Kyle decided it was time to call the after hours doctor, and they said to bring her in right away. So we told the kids to get their blankets, and we loaded them up in the car (hoping that they would fall asleep on the drive and that would make bedtime much easier). The clinic was in Provo and we rushed down there to get there before they closed for the night. We got there with about 20 minutes to spare, and Kyle took Dinah in. The doctor listened to her chest and said that it didn’t sound like she had RSV, and checked the rest of her out, and found an infection in her left ear, poor thing. 🙁 So he gave her a prescription for amoxicillin, and we headed home. Every Rite Aid and Walgreens we passed were closed! (I thought they were 24 hour pharmacies, at least they used to be). And finally we noticed one of them had a sign saying that the nearest 24 hour Walgreens was down in Provo. We were just down there! So frustrating. We ended up coming home and giving Dinah some Ibuprofin to help ease the pain through the night, and in the morning I will be making a trip to a pharmacy.
