Clean Bill of Health

I'd mentioned that I just didn't feel right about Jaggar's ears. When he had strep in January, his doctor said that she didn't know if the ear was infected or if it was just red where the tube came out. When he went to Cares screaming about his ear hurting, that doctor said something similar about the ear that wasn't hurting--it was red. Soo...I'm like, "Okay is this an infection (which I believe he had) that is still lingering or is he having some issues from the tubes?" Because he did have a hole where the tube was that had yet to close. I had to have mine surgically closed, and I can still remember throwing up in recovery. But prior to that and even now, I have a lot of problems with my ears. Frankly, I was just tired and wanted an answer as to why his sleep habits are still out of sorts. REALLY TIRED. SO, I called his ENT who did the surgery. They are a wonderful husband and wife team, and they could see him that day--which was Friday. I just wanted peace of mind to know if he was in pain or formed some bad sleep habits through this time. Unfortunately, this doctor is in Homewood. Even more unfortunately, Travis was and has been out of town for what feels like eternity. So...I didn't feel okay about going that far and leaving Sage at school, even though I had time to get back. I couldn't risk traffic or a wreck or SOMETHING that could keep me from getting her because no one else could. Sooo...she missed the leprechaun. We still have yet to make up for this. I felt terrible. Still do.

Here they are in the doctor's office. Thankfully, Chrissie lives across the street and came to get Sage so she could play with her kiddos before they headed to the beach with Chrissie's mom for spring break. Anyway, I'm pleased and relieved to say that Jaggar's ears looked great. I wanted someone to tell me that who knows what they're talking about. With what we went through 2 years ago (in just a few days), I can go to the paranoia side really fast. So his ears are great. JAGGAR is great. He's just being...a terrible sleeper.

So after the doctor's office, we went to Chrissie's because Jaggar loves "Hah-nan," as he sweetly calls Holland. Believe it or not, I got this picture on the first try. Amazing. And how adorable?

And these two cuties are definitely best friends, too. Poor Harrison is kind of the odd one out these days.

Look at baby Iris! She loves chocolate just like me! Unlike me, she can carry that extra weight it brings so well.

We did some shopping and at the Summit that afternoon. It was gorgeous outside, and Sean was extremely helpful to me with my kids (since his older ones were gone). GREATLY appreciated. I am counting down the hours until Travis is back because I make a terrible single parent.
