Success at the Dr.'s office...finally

We have taken Jordana to the Dr. 3 times for her third hepB shot. Every time we have gone, she has spiked a fever. I swear she can do it on command! This time, we made an early morning appointment before school and loaded her up with Tylenol before we left. She had 98.6 when we left the house and 99.3 by the time we got there. The Dr said it was low grade and since it was a forehead reading, it was ok. Now Jordana is freaking out. She is climbing up my neck and won't let go. So I laid her down and was practically lying on top of her. She wouldn't let go. The nurse was like, don't move.....done! Jordana didn't even know what hit her. With me lying on top of her, it kept her arms restrained and her struggle to bury herself in my neck distracted her. It was over before she could react. Not a single tear shed!!! She got a sticker and donuts for breakfast. By the time she got to school, her snoopy bandaid was on her forehead!! I gave her some Ibuprofen just in case, and left her in the care of the music teacher. When I picked her up at 4, she was having a grand old time. We are free and clear until she is 4......yes!!!

This pix represents the new best seat in the house. Randy bought this recliner and we are all always fighting over it. Jordana watches cartoon afer school one day.

Catching up...

Things have been crazy around here. We are slowly getting our house back together. We have a working air conditioner, all the rooms are now painted and the birds are gone. Randy has some painting touch ups to do where we had cracks sealed in the dining room, game room and stairway, but the majority of the repairs are done. Jordana's room is finished. I will be taking some pix soon to show them. We hope to start having her nap in there soon.

As for the 4th, the fireworks were a bust for Jordana. In the morning, there was a parade in our neighborhood that came right in front of our house. The firetrucks and antique vehicles didn't scare Jordana, she just waved and ran to pick up the candy the threw at us. As for the fireworks, they seemed exciting for Jordana when we talked about it, but when the time came to see them for real, they literally scared the poop out of her! We took her outside and she sat down next to me. While Randy was setting some up in the street, Jordana started hearing the ones in the neighborhood. She started climbing up in her chair and told me she wanted to go inside. I tried to get her to sit in my lap, but when Randy set off the first firework.....she was a mess. We went inside and I sat on the couch with her...and smelled poopy diaper. Jordana was so scared she pooped in her pants!!! Poor thing.

Today I worked 12 hours (nice for the paycheck...bad for me). I was short a pharamcist and a tech and had to work a double. Not fun. By 8 o'clock, I was ready to go home. One of my poor techs had a root canal this morning and stuck it out all day with me. What a trooper. Hopefully tomorrow will be better....
