A week in Iowa

That night after the appt was absolutely terrible. They had sent us on with some Tylenol and told us it would be enough. But Ian's foot swelled more than normal and he screamed the house down until about 2:30 when they called in some Tylenol w/ codeine for him. Brad had to drive out in a heavy snowstorm to go fetch it!
Now, Ian at this point had a pretty high pain tolerance. Not only had he dealt with the feet problem, but he was also used to reflux and had been through a hospitalization at 2 wks old w/ viral meningitis. But he was in some major pain that night and nothing calmed him. We walked, swang, sang songs, prayed, and cried for half the night. Even after Brad came with the codeine Tylenol Ian still woke & fussed on & off until morning. NOT a fun time.
But the next day he did better and the swelling had gone down. We kept ourselves busy in the playroom at the house, or at the mall or childrens museum. Anna was a trooper but being away from home was getting to her.
