What a crazy weekend it has been. We got a call from TJ's mom saying they were coming for a visit! This was very exciting, as Jacey has been wanting to actually meet TJ for the longest time. Friday was my birthday and Jacey made sure I got to go out to dinner and invited everyone over for cake & ice cream. It was very sweet of her to want to make the day special for me. One of the many reasons why I LOVE her so very much! This was also the weekend for her and Phil to go to the Browns game.Friday everyone left Jacey started have an earache. I tried to give her some tylenol and hoped it would pass. It didn't take long to figure out that was not going to happen. We have been down this road of pain before and it was just a waiting game for her eardrum to rupture before the pain would stop. I felt so bad for her and nearly took her to the ER even though I knew there was nothing they could or would do to stop the pain. She was up most of the night and finally it began to drain. She slept most of the day Saturday and felt much better when she got up. TJ and his family showed up and I was so glad that Jacey was feeling better. It would have been such a shame for her to not be able to enjoy the time with them. The kids played video games and just got along like they had known each other forever. We have pictures but I have not yet got them off of the camera. Jacey had to be up and ready early for Phil to take her to the game. She was torn about going because she knew TJ would be gone when she got back. She has been looking forward to the game for so long and couldn't even think about missing it.Jacey called me when they got to the field and was very excited. They got to park where the players park. She said there were lots of really big cars and she had seen a lot of the players. I could just imagine the HUGE SMILE she had on her face. They got to go to the field and watch pre game warm up and Jacey called to tell me that she nearly got run over after a player had caught the ball...lol. I guess she knows how those poor cameramen feel now. She called me again before the game even got started to let know that her other ear was starting to hurt. I guess I should have seen it coming but had not even thought to give Phil tylenol or the earache drops. That may have bought her some time to enjoy more of the game but it wasn't even the end of the 1st quarter and she was in too much pain to stay. Phil stopped at the store and bought more drops and tylenol for the ride home.

I really hope that the doctor will be able to get her in tomorrow. She should be past all the pain but will certainly need meds to help her eardrums heal.
