Kennedy hadn't been sleeping very well. We had assumed she was getting another tooth, but on Wednesday, her daycare noticed some fluid oozing out of her left ear. Rachel made an appointment to see the doctor and sure enough, she had a pretty sever ear infection. It was so bad, in fact, that it burst her eardrum and that's why the fluid was leaking out. The doctor also said that she had a general cold. He gave us some meds to help get her back on track, but we had a difficult decision to make.
Tyler and Lynsey had their baby shower on Saturday and we had plans to drive up to Nebraska to celebrate with them. Since Kennedy wasn't feeling well, we were afraid that heading out of town might not help her to fight off her infection. We ended up deciding to have Jason stay back with Kennedy and Rachel booked a flight.
Lynsey, LuAnn, and Carol drove to Omaha on Friday to pick up Rachel from the airport. They then drove to an outdoor shopping center and did a little shopping before heading back to Schuyler. That evening they went in to Columbus and went to a movie. Rachel was all about this as we don't get near as many opportunities to go to movies anymore.
Saturday was the shower and it was a wonderful event. Lynsey received so many nice things and is pretty set for Baby Kime to get here (as long as they wait till they get it all put away). Duane, Danita, Tracy and Braydon made it out to the shower as well so it was nice getting to catch up with them. It would have been their first time meeting Kennedy, but luckily we have another opportunity when they will come down for her birthday celebration. It was a fun but quick trip. Being so spread out, it sure is hard to get all of us in one place at the same time!
Staying home seemed like it was the right decision as Kennedy seemed to recuperate quite well. She is probably back up to 95%, so hopefully we have kicked this nasty ear infection and cold.
