Update

I wanted to let ya'll know I got the call on my cyst and it was benign! I am really thankful that it wasn't anything serious or that would need further treatment. All that is left is to get these darn stitches out next week! They itch so bad! I am not sure if it is the prescription antibiotic that I have to put on it twice a day, the actual stitches, or if it is because of the tape that I have to rip off my back to apply the ointment twice a day. Today at school I had to sit on the floor and put my back against the wall to apply pressure because the itching was driving me crazy. It is only one more week, so hopefully I can last!
Ally started her antibiotic last Wednesday for her ear infection but over the weekend she got much worse. Her nose was running a mile a minute and she had a bad cough. I was worried it was a result of the shots she got but she didn't have a fever so I knew that was a good sign. I called the doctor on Monday and she said I was doing everything right and that if she got a fever I should bring her in. I have been having a horrible time trying to take Ally's temperature because the battery on our ear thermometer died and Dave and I cannot get the case open to replace it. I have no idea why the case won't open but we have both tried really hard. We started using our rectal thermometer under Ally's armpit, but we couldn't get her to sit still for as long as it takes to read her temperature. We finally gave in and bought a forehead thermometer and I love it! It is super quick and easy and painless! Emily and Ally think it is fun to get their temperature taken now. Ally has been doing much better today and we were able to go to school.
Emily has been doing great since she started her antibiotic. Her cough went away and her nose stopped running. Hopefully she will stay healthy for a while.
