God only knows how many times Maddy may be up tonight. (And as much as Matt is a very dear help to me all the time--no, no, I take that back. We help each other and I wouldn't say that I carry the weight at night. I would say we're basically equal. However, he's no match for his oral antihistamine.) Now I think she has a cold since I seem to be a bit runny, too! SHEESH. I hope both her and I clear up by Wednesday since I have Mom's Night Out that night and am supposed to host a playgroup that morning.

The day went overall, fairly well. It could have went much worse. Matt's bite area seems to be evening out and the swelling has definitely gone down. I can see more little bump pustules now but I also think it's because the swelling has gone down and now they are more noticeable. His face seems about the same. However, I did notice a remarked difference after just one dose of antibiotic and antihistamine. Originally, he and I planned to go into emergency this evening, but since it stopped spreading, we reconsidered. Then we planned to go into the doctor tomorrow, but now I think it may be more prudent to wait another day or two (given things continue to improve and don't stay the same/get worse). That way, he can go into the doctor, show it to them saying, "This is me at X doses. I have X doses left. What do you think?" After just one or two doses I think they will hedge on the side of waiting to 'see how it goes'. Of course, this all depends on it continuing to get better. Because if it doesn't, he's there in a heartbeat!

So tomorrow one of his coworkers is coming to pick him up in the morning for work. He is just no match for the antihistamine and DEFINITELY shouldn't drive. We'll see how his day goes, he may be coming home early.

Maddy had big issues getting up from her naps. Her throat really hurt because of the drainage and she'd cry just drinking milk. But after a bit, she'd liven up and play some. But mainly she wanted to snuggle today. We were able to get dimeatap in her twice (once mixed in icecream and once forced).

I did just have go up and boy is she squirmy!!! She's really not tired at all and it's 9 pm. She had two naps today and one was a late one. Well, let me tell ya kid, this mom is TIRED!!!

Ok, now, I should seriously go to bed. Have a good night. Here's hoping she's not up too much or to close to 6:30 so I'll actually get out of bed to work out!
