Up late with Jake

Last night Jake couldn't sleep very well. He was out for about an hour and then woke up at 9 in pretty bad pain. We tried everything we could think of to comfort him, but he just couldn't get any sleep. So, we brought him downstairs and me and him cuddled on the couch for a while. Well, a long while. We finally racked out at about 1AM. Sitting up must have helped his ear, because he didn't complain one time. Maybe watching 2 movies did something to ease his pain though too. Oh and shhh...don't tell Brady but I snuck Jake an Oreo. You would have thought I gave him a golden ticket to Willy Wonka's factory. He smiled from ear to infected ear.

Jake, I don't know if you will remember last night the rest of your life but I sure will. I hate to heck that you are sick, but it sure feels good to be able to take care of you. I love you son.

Gosh, you should have called me! Mark (Manda, too) had chronic ear problems when they were little. I remember calling the emergency number in the middle of the night. When the doctor called back, he offered me this advice: "Do you have any gin or vodka? Okay, pour some in a pan and warm it up. Put a few drops of the alcohol in his ear. Pour yourself a shot and drink it. Do this ever couple of hours!" Worked for us!
