Valentine's Day

Valentine's Day at our house was a little out of sorts. Arden woke up ringing wet...she had a fever of over 101 degrees, screaming and very upset if you touched her ears. We ended up in the doctor's office about an hour later and found out that she had an ear infection in her right ear and a ruptured ear drum in her left ear!

She had been running a fever the day before but I thought she was just fighting something off because she slept most of the day and wasn't fussy and definitely wasn't complaining at all so I was really surprised when I found out that her ear drum ruptured. According to the doctor a ruptured ear drum will relieve the pressure and actual hear the ear faster. This girl has a high tolerance for pain.

Arden even as she feels terrible is still on the go. She woke up from a nap and felt much better even though she was still very hot. She went into her room and grabbed her shoes and said bye-bye. I asked her if she wanted to go some where to which she replied bye-bye.

As we were waiting on her prescriptions refilled we went to the grocery store and she loved all of the Valentine's balloons and the flowers. I really think she just liked being out of the house.

She has watched a lot of PBS Kids and did manage to look fierce during all of this. Today she is much better and back on the amends. She should be as good as new tomorrow.


Arden watching PBS kids


Arden knows that the key to feeling better is looking good.



Arden has to catch up on her messages now that she is feeling better.
