This week is going in the books as extremely unforgettable.
I had a feeling that Ayla was getting sick again. On top of cutting her 2nd tooth
and sporting a runny nose, she has stopped sleeping through the night, so I
took her to the doctor. She had another
double ear infection, so they gave her a new medicine called Suprax. It was supposed to be $125.00, but they gave
me a coupon so it was only $30 instead.
I about died when it was 9:00 pm and I had waited in the pharmacy line
for 40 minutes just to hear them tell me that the medicine was going to be that
much money. Ayla was screaming and
crying in the back of the car because she just wanted to go home and sleep - Stressful
night to say the least.
So throughout the week, I started giving her the medicine,
and it wasn’t working, so I called the doctor again and the nurse practitioner called
in some ear drops that she had researched.
Usually when I get a prescription for Ayla it’s like $2.00, but this one
was another $30 prescription. I was so
frustrated when the drops weren’t making Ayla feel better either.
I waited until Friday afternoon to call the doctor to see
how long it would be before she started feeling the effects of the drops and
they called me back on my way home with Ayla from daycare. They told me to stop with the drops and that
Dr. Ciaccio was going to call in something stronger. We were sitting in rush hour traffic on
Southport Road, when the next thing I knew we were being blasted from behind by
another car! The woman must have not
been paying attention because she plowed into the back of Old Blue and scared
the crud out of Ayla and me! Ayla wasn’t
making any sound, so I freaked out. I
jumped out of the car and threw open her door.
She started screaming crying and I got her out of her seat as fast as I
could. The woman who hit us ran up to
our car and immediately started crying when she realized that Ayla had been in
the back seat. Abe was fine, but we
ended up causing a huge traffic jam for the next hour and a half while we wrote
up police reports and had an ambulance check out Ayla to make sure she was
okay. I guess it’s mandatory to have a
baby looked at on the scene of an accident if they are considered an
infant. Her pulse was a tiny bit high,
but they said she was fine. Blair had
met us there at the scene and helped me through all the paperwork. He kept Ayla warm in Black Betty while
everything was finalized. Old Blue was
barely drivable, so he drove him home, while I followed with the flashers
on. We were planning on heading down to
Salem that evening for Haley’s wedding, so we packed up and headed down. We got there later than planned, but at least
we all made it in one piece. Now it will
be interesting to see what we do about a 2nd vehicle!
Haley’s wedding was beautiful. Shelley decorated the church, all the bridesmaids’
dresses were black with lace, and they were so happy to get married! We ate dinner at the Spring Mill Inn (where
they got engaged). The food was so good
and it the reception hall was gorgeous.
Kinsley loved dancing and she didn’t want to leave. Ayla on the other hand was tired right away
and wanted to go home as soon as we ate.
Allie came to Abe’s rescue and held her all night long. Ayla just laid her head on Allie and let her
hold her all night long. I told Allie
that I wished she lived up in Indianapolis so she could babysit.
It was a long weekend. We had fun being at home in Salem, and I’m
just glad that we’re all still in one piece!
