Up All Night

Morgan woke me up about 2:30 this morning complaining with an earache.  She had been complaining with her 12 year molars coming in for a few days, so I was unsure if the earache was related to her teeth or not.  I gave her some Motrin & she went back to sleep.  I told her when she got to school to have the nurse look inside her ear to see if it was red/infected.  About 8:00 am the nurse called me and said she thought it was infected.  I called the doctor's office, but they wouldn't call her anything in until they seen her.  I went and picked her up from school and headed to the doctor.  She was a little upset the she wouldn't be seeing her regular doctor.

Waiting to see the Dr.

We saw the new nurse practitioner   She was very nice & friendly.  She did have an ear infection.  We left with two prescription.  On the way home she wanted McDonald's for lunch, so we stopped to grab her something to eat.  I had to run some errands and pay some bills, so she tagged along.  She got a cupcake and a Dr. Pepper at the bank.  She said, "I like missing school & running errand with you!"

We then headed to Walmart to get her medicine filled.  My new insurance is for the birds.  I had to end up calling the company myself because Walmart couldn't get the prescription to go through.  After 30 minutes on the phone with the insurance company they finally got it all figured out.  It still cost a small fortune to get the medicine filled because of the deductible.  

After all the other kids got out of school we headed to BG to see Bobby's dad.  The girls had not seen him since his stroke.  It really upset them to see him in this shape.  He had been sick at his stomach all day.  Bobby's mom was trying to get the doctor to send him to the hospital to get him checked out, but they didn't feel it was necessary.  

When we got home Bobby's mom called & said they were sending his dad to the ER to be evaluated.  Bobby took me to work; took the kids to Meme's & he headed to the ER to be with his mom.  They came to the conclusion he had ulcers that were causing him to be sick.  They gave him some medicine and sent him back to rehab.
