No Trick or Treating...

I thought I should give a quick update about why blogging has been non-existent the past couple of weeks. The weekend before last we went to Greensburg to visit my family--pictures coming soon. And when we got back...Jack became ill. Apparently, he had another ear infection, which we suspected. I called his doctor's office to make an appointment...and was told that it would be a week before he could be seen by her or any of her partners. What the Hell? I was told the only open spots they had were for urgent circumstances, which a toddler with a high fever, etc. is not, I guess. So we went to an Urgent Care office in Belleville, and had an atrocious doctor. I understand that he was not a pediatrician, but he treated Jack like and adult. He prescribed an antihistamine. (???) And when we tried to ask questions, he mumbled "Do a follow-up" and ran out of the room.
We had to keep him home from daycare on Wednesday and Thursday--and me with him. On Friday, Kate took off to stay with him so I could go to work. He pretty much spent the days sleeping on top of me. He is feeling better now, just tired.

The sad part of it is that Jack had to miss his trick-or-treating at school. Of course, Kate has been randomly dressing Jack up as a monkey this weekend and has already stated that it will be a common occurrence the rest of winter.
