Melonee's first ear infection

Melonee has been sick for two weeks. I have been hoping that she would kick this snotty nose junk. However, she has continued to get worse...also Ryan let me know that it was time to do something. (He let her sleep on his chest so she could be elevated.)

Monday morning I roll out of bed and try to get half way ready before the Calvary awakens. By the time I get my face put on I hear mama. I then knew it was time to get the girls ready. Ryan got breakfast for Melonee and I got Dottie ready. Ryan headed out to work and reminded me to take Melonee to the doctor.  I called and got Melonee an appointment for 8:45!  That meant that I had to get moving.  I am throwing my clothes on and getting a diaper bag ready.  Dottie was ready to take a nap so I got her in the car seat.  Then I got Melonee in the car seat.  Now how am I going to get both of them into the doctor's office?  The jeep...so I sling the jeep into the car....it then pops back and hits me in the face.  I am now ready to go.  I arrive at the doctors office and park at the end of the parking lot where I can get both kids out without hitting someones car.  It then starts to sprinkle....the storms are coming.  I am running to the office with Melonee on my hip and Dottie in the stroller. We make it in and go straight to the check in desk. Melonee immediately sees the toys...I immediately see germs all over the place. So I hang on tight to Melonee as she arches her back and starts to fight me in order to get down. Luckily the nurse was waiting to take us back for the exam. Melonee does well all the way to the scale and then.it happens. The nurse comes at her with the thermometer and she starts screaming. Then the nurse gets stern with me and tells me to hold her chin. I understand that she is doing her job but a child can sense foreign objects coming at them that could be unconfrontable.  Dr. Rosser then comes in to check her out. He puts his stethoscope in his ears then on Mels chest...the screams start again. Side note...my mom asks if he heard anything in here chest...I said how could he tell with his ears ringing off his head. Anyway, next to the ears. He pulled out a gob of ear wax...how embarrassing. He looks at me and says she has a little ear infection. The exam is over and Mel waves and says bye bye. Oh! Dottie stayed in the stroller the whole time without a peep. Now we are off to get Mels prescription. We get in the car to go and Dottie starts screaming. The never ending scream. By the time we get home, the storms are getting closer. My parents decide they are going to come up and see the girls. Crazy! They truly love adventure. Lovey comes busting thru the door and Melonee gets so excited. Then Lovey plays with Dottie till she goes to sleep. Papa tries to entertain Mel. After Dottie fell asleep, Lovey asked Mel if she wanted to watch Winnie the Pooh. Well of coarse she did! Did I mention a storm was coming with possible tornadoes! So we turn on Pooh bear and I go in our bed room and watch the weather. My parents are so calm when storms hit. I truly wish I could be that calm, but I get a little crazy. The storms finally past. Melonee finally went to sleep and Dottie was waking up as Lovey and Papa were leaving. I am so glad they came!!
