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...

Poor D! She's been going through a lot lately.

Ouch...bands are the worst. Poor thing. Sounds like an ice cream dinner is in order!

Poor D! Hope the pain ceases sooner than later.

Glad to hear she's feeling less pain.
