This year the 4th didn't really go as planned. Originally Payton was going to get to be in her first parade. Our Neighborhood does a 4th of July parade. We unfortunately were driving home from the ER. Since it was a Saturday and a holiday there were no doctors offices open and we had to take Payton to the ER after being up every 45 min. all night long screaming in pain. She had been extremely cranky the day before and not the happy go lucky Payton she usually is. We thought she was just getting in her "eye" teeth. After surviving the sleepless night we took her first thing in the morning because I decided it must be her ears. She did have an ear infection and she had an infection in her mouth and down her throat, which explained the lack of appetite, which we originally again thought was just teething. Poor baby had a very ruff day. It is amazing how much your heart aches when your little one is in pain and you can't make it better or even sometime figure out exactly what it is.
We spent a little bit of time at mom's house to celebrate Mema's birthday and grill out with everyone. Payton did OK after getting all of her meds into her. We only lasted a couple of hours and then took her back home and tried to just get her to rest. I worked that night and Mitch was left at home to man the house and look after the sicky. Maybe next year the 4th might be a little more exciting celebrating our Independence day.
