"...there was so much dried up snot on her nose."

Monday, March 30, 1992

     Ez. is doing better. Guy stayed home with her Sun. a.m. & I stayed home Sun. night. He put the monitor on his side Sat. night & got up with her. He let her cry herself to sleep finally. I think he said it was about an hour. I fell asleep some of the time but kept waking up when she was screaming. I nearly fell asleep in church & class. Guy let me take a nap Sun. aft. & I slept pretty good. I turned the air vent on high so I wouldn't hear the neighbor if he started playing his clarinet. I slept til Guy started running Ez's bath water at 4:30. I felt better after that nap & was surprised that it didn't keep me from going to sleep last night. I forget what time she went to bed but of course she woke up after we went to bed. I checked her diaper and she'd pooped so I changed her – wait, that was this morning after Guy left. I forget the problem last night but when I couldn't get her to sleep again I came back and let her cry cause I was crying myself. It was about 40-5- min. & she finally went to sleep. She slept all night but work up after Guy left this morning. After I changed her poopy diaper she cried for about 20 min. before going back to sleep. This time it was crying & not screaming. She took about an hour & a half nap this morning & an hour this aft. She was up later because of a poopy diaper but went to sleep when Guy gave her some juice. So far so good.

     When she got up this morning there was so much dried up snot on her nose. When I got it loose I was able to suck some stuff out. She acted like she felt better all day but we went ahead & gave her more medicine tonight. Maybe she won't need any more.

     I need to write about Regina's [baby] shower Sat. but I'm too tired.
