So we had a rough friday night, Hannah was complaining that her throat hurt so we gave her some motrin. Bad choice. Within an hour she was swollen and covered in hives -- so we rushed her upto Nightime Peds. After a complete exam, she got some benedryl for the hives and some antibiotics for her newly discovered ear infection. So the trip to the beach was on. We left this morning (around 8) with Zoe in tow. Traffic was a pain but managable. Hannh did well in the car for about three hours -- thanks to the DVD player, the gameboy and the lingering effects of benedryl. It's hot here and Hannah sweet talked Aunt Denise and Kim into taking her to the pool while Mike and I had lunch. It is so nice to be here and relax. And so nice to be with family. Hannah is rough -housing with the dogs -- so they should be nice and tired... and hopefully she will too!!
