Emery has been doing really well. Her grades at school are awesome! Summer is almost here, and she's already got an eye on some camps she's wanting to try out. She finished up her C.C.D. classes the first weekend of May too. I'm really proud of how well she's done this year. Once school is over with she'll be staying with her babysitter, and I hope that this will help her get back into the habit of speaking Spanish. Since she's not being exposed to it for long periods of time she's started to forget a lot of it. I blame myself for this too, but here's hoping that this summer will give her a bit of a refresher of sorts.
Now, she's doing great, and I'm glad we've gone the majority of the year without anything too major coming up. BUT at the end of April we had to take her to the emergency room. She woke up one night, around 3:30 am, screaming bloody murder. Scared the crap out of me. She said her ears were popping, burning, and hurting. I thought it might be some weird elevation thing, but after trying to get her to drink some water in order to make her ears stop popping I quickly realized it was something more. So, off we went to the ER. After an hour and a half there we were informed that she had a ruptured eardrum, and ear canal damage. Caused by her taking q-tips to her ear. So we were sent home with ear drops, and instructions to rest.
Flash forward to her follow up appointment last week, which was set up because her ears started popping again, and we were given a few extra diagnosis's. Both of her ears had fluid in them, one was still bleeding, and her severe allergies weren't allowing them to heal. On top of that the doctor said she sounded like she had the beginning of a respiratory infection, and we were told she had asthma. So we walked out of the office with four different prescriptions, and a recommendation to switch to another over-the-counter allergy medicine. Although after talking with my brother he came to the conclusion that the doctor had no idea what the hell she was talking about. We Gamez's don't have asthma. This is where the GoodRx app came into play. And it saved me a nice chunk of change.
Then last Thursday she came down with a stomach bug. We spent all of Thursday night, and Friday between the couch and the bathroom. I thought I had gotten lucky, but I ended up coming down with it on Saturday night. Today was the first day I felt somewhat normal. So I guess with all of the good luck we had throughout the year in regards to health we were bound to get a nice little curve-ball thrown our way. I'm glad she bounced back a lot faster than I did though. And now she's off to enjoy the last two weeks of school!
