another ER visit

Molly had a difficult day today:(  She started the day with her normal cuteness!  Today was my first day of school, so I dressed her in her back to school "ABC" outfit as well.

This cute little outfit came from goodwill...$2!  (The pink sailor dress was a goodwill find as well)  Love that!
We're both getting used to the morning routine, but as you can see here, she is clearly not happy about being in car at 7am!

I rushed off to school to finish the final things in my room before the kiddos came

Even though, I didn't have time to put up all of my usual back to school stuff the kids never noticed.  We had a good first day...looks like a good group, don't you think?

After school I went to have my haircut, it was a must do!!  And that meant that I was really later than usual to get Molly from daycare.  So it was 5:30 p.m. by the time I got her and she had been really unhappy and fussy for mom.  Mom thought she was constipated and fed her prunes and apples to try to help! ha!  She was pulling at her bottom and wanting to take her diaper off.  She would not sit, stand, walk, or run.  She would only lay on her stomach on the couch.  She wanted to lay her head on the pillow and she still cried big tears and then when the pillow got wet, she cried about that too!

I wasn't sure what could be wrong at first, and then remembered that she had a spot on her bottom that looked like it may be a small boil a couple days ago.  It hasn't seemed to bother her.  But mom just had not noticed it.  When I checked it, it was infected, burning with fever, and her whole bottom was red.  At first I thought a warm bath and neosporin would work, but after she wouldn't stand, walk, or run as the night went on I knew we should have it checked out.  So mom and I went to the ER at 8pm.  Fun! 

As soon as we got there Molly started running and jumping in the waiting area...making a liar out of me after I just told the receptionist she had not moved for 5 hours!  She did have a fever when they checked her vitals...and weighed in at 25.5 lbs just so I don't forget!  They looked and said it did need to be drained.  I knew this would be very fun!  uugghhh!  So they gave her pain meds, numbing meds, antibiotics, and cut it and drained it and after about 4 hours we left.  I think she is feeling much better, she got right in bed (after vomiting all over mom's new car) and went to sleep.  So now it's 1:30 a.m. and I have to figure out what to do for my last day of in service tomorrow.  I hope she will sleep in a little and I'll see how she feels.  Then we will try to go to daycare so I can go to school at some point.  They did say  there is a chance it could get worse, so I'll have to watch it to make sure it continues to drain and doesn't get worse over the weekend. 

I'm not sure what it is with me and her...in June I went to the ER for my staph infection drain on my finger, in July we both had surgery although hers was major, and in August she has already been to the ER.  We've got to slow down on these kinds of things!!
