The Magic of Medicine

Emry has been so sick since last Monday (February 11th)! Poor thing! It really has been heart breaking to see her so weak. She ended up going to school twice that week and she even managed the ski trip, kind of! She did her ski lesson and completed and passed her pylon test! But the rest of the time she was asleep on the bench inside the ski lodge under the watchful eye of my sister! Jared was so worried about her, at one point it took him twenty seconds to get her to wake up, and even once she did she was glassy eyed and not really seeing him. She didn't ever have a high fever, but she had really rosy cheeks and glassy looking eyes and really achy! Thankfully she has this week off to rest and recuperate, but I was sad for her to be spending her week off confined to a couch and sipping ginger ale! The other day her ear was really bothering her so I finally took her to the doctor where he said she most definitely had an ear infection, bad enough that it was preventing her from hearing. So he prescribed antibiotics and after only three doses she is feeling much better! Not 100% but good enough that she wants to play with Lily today! I am happy she can maybe enjoy the last three days of her school break!!

We did take the kids to "Wreck it Ralph" on Family Day, which was a lot of fun! Emry however was pretty out of it, but she did enjoy it! Calum was terrified for the first little bit! My dad had taken him and Lily to it last month but had to leave because Calum freaked out in the opening scene because he thought it was too scary! When my dad told me this I was sure Calum wasn't that scared! But on Sunday we watched "Hotel Transylvania" and he was absolutely terrified! It was actually quite humorous to see! He ran to his room bawling and then when he did come out he sat in the rocking chair just outside his room where he couldn't see the tv, he would laugh when he heard a funny part and then get brave and venture out to watch with us! Only he would see the tv and chicken out again! He watched most of the show sitting on the stairs peeking over the computer! He finally did sit with Myrna for the last two minutes and even told us he liked it!! Sometimes that boy really makes me laugh! He is such a tough looking guy on the outside but a real softie on the inside!!
