Friday, 8 August

It's been an okay morning, still achy and feeling sick but got some sleep last night so hopefully that helps. Olivia's skin is really really dry right now, it's flaking a lot on her legs and arms. I'm hoping once we get to the allergist on the 13th - that they can help improve things. She has been on the special diet now for almost two weeks and things are a little better but she still is scratching a lot. So dropped her off at Day Care and I then did make it to the gym - did my cardio then off to work. Work still really busy, but that makes me happy. At lunch time, I went to the gym - quick workout. Finished my day and then picked up Olivia. Stopped at CVS on the way home, got some Icy Hot pads for Kurt's back. He threw it out. I also got Olivia's prescription. Some issues with her insurance... I called them after leaving CVS and they said everything was fine, I have to go back to CVS to get my money back on her prescription. SO got home, Kurt took Olivia to change her and she started crying and I mean crying like I have never heard before. I went into her room and Kurt said that he changed her and she just started crying. Well, long story short - She cried for a good 40 minutes. Nothing would console her. Well, long story short.... We think what happened was that a carrot got stuck in her bowels (I know gross) and she was in pain. When I changed her later on in the evening, it had finally worked it's way threw... She had full carrot slices in her B.M. So after getting her dressed (after her crying episode) I picked up Michael and we went to Plymouth for the Music in the Park. My parents were up there so we got to spend some time them - that's when I discovered Olivia's issue... I changed her at the park. So listened to music and Olivia got to dance around for a while. She loved it. It ended at 9, so dropped off my Mom's and Shon's birthday gift and then headed home. Dropped off Michael and then got home. I was tired, Olivia was asleep. So changed her and put her in her pajamas.. she had another B.M. (with more whole carrots) We are changing that recipe.... anyway - got her to bed and then tried sleeping myself. My throat was hurting, my head was hurting, my sinuses were hurting... just a miserable night. Eventually got to sleep.
