Doctor's Visit

Well, Reeves has his first ear infection. He has been running a fever at night for 3 or 4 days and been coughing with a runny nose. So I finally took him to the doctor this morning. There is nothing like going into a pediatrician's office without an appointment. I got there at 8:00 (before the office officially opens), and there were already 5 people in front of me. We finally got called and went back to the room. The nurse weighed him and measured his length. (We were at the West Ashley office, but his chart is at the Daniel Island office.) Somehow, amazingly, between his last appointment, on Halloween, and today, he has not only gained 4 ounces, but he has also grown 2 inches!! I've never been convinced that the height measurement was that accurate. The appointment went fine. The doctor looked in his ears, gave us a prescription for the yummy pink stuff, and we were on our way. He should be all fixed up in a couple of days. Now if he will just sleep through the night again! We have our church directory picture tonight. I haven't slept in two days, and I have a black eye! I'm sure I'll look great! One of the guys here at the office suggested that Bryant wear a wife-beater tee, have a cig hanging out of his mouth, and a can of Bud. Real classy!! I'll pist the pic when we get it.
