Quick update

D seems to be in less pain today- I'm starting to think that she was overusing her arm and that's why it was hurting so much. I've reduced her dosage of ibuprofen and am giving it every 8 hours instead of every six. I woke her up at 1:00AM to take more and that allowed her to sleep in today. I'm keeping her home from a field trip tomorrow, but I'm feeling better that her arm is actually healing. 

I didn't manage to accomplish a whole lot today- even with the extra sleep. I ran into a colleague at work this morning who I hadn't seen in a while (& his wife was recently diagnosed with cancer), then had a meeting at noon. I didn't get out of there until 1:30, grabbed some lunch, then had to pick up D at 3:00. At least I don't have to take her anywhere tomorrow, so hopefully work will get done! Oh yeah- she is getting her braces adjusted (& bands put on the molars) tomorrow. I guess she'll need pain meds for that...
