Another ear infection…...


but this time it's for Jack!  Jack slept a lot and was fussy for most of the weekend but he seemed better on Monday morning so off to daycare we went!  I got a call around 11 that Jack was having a tough day and was uncomfortable.  Thankfully my parents were able to come up and be with Jack.  I was in the middle of benefit open enrollment meetings and with Ryan starting a new job it was a tough week for either of us to be off.

Poor baby Jack…..he had an ear infection and his throat was extremely red.  I guess that explained why he wasn't very happy over the weekend and wasn't interested in eating.  With Madelyn I knew whenever she had an ear infection but with Jack it's so hard to tell - one day/night he's up screaming in pain and the next day/night he seems fine.  Through it all he's usually got a smile on his face though!

My parents ended up taking him to Owatonna for a couple nights so he got some extra love!  Madelyn missed her brother - she was so sad at night when it was time to go to bed because she couldn't kiss Jack.  We have our routine and she always comes in to kiss Jack before she goes to bed.  She is our routine girl so she was pretty sad.  I always think she will like some one-on-one time with Ryan and me but she loves her baby brother and really misses him when he's gone!

We were all back together as a healthy family of 4 by the end of the week!
