September 29th:
At 11:30 last night Jacob woke up yelling in pain. He had blood running out of his ear and we rushed to the ER. We sat there for 2.5 hours till we could see someone while I held gauze to his ear to help with the bleeding. He saw a nurse for about a minute who checked his blood pressure and temp, then told him to wait for the doctor. After another agonizing hour while he was bleeding from the ear and in excruciating pain, I went up to the front desk in tears begging someone to help us. We finally saw a doctor at 3:30. His eardrum popped that night, which caused him to be bleeding out and in lots of pain. Around 4:15 AM we took off for a 24/7 Pharmacy on the opposite side of town, waited for pain meds and antibiotics and got home around 5:30. He is doing a lot better now, on lots of medication. We have no idea what caused the popped eardrum, but in a couple weeks he should be healed. To add the icing to the cake, I was harassed by some guy in the waiting room and it started a fight with some other patient who was trying to defend me. Oh Geez.
It’s official, I’m writing a book.

I lost my phone last night. Cool.
I was naturally a mess and very upset, but I eventually breathed when Jacob calmed me down. Guess what! There are some good Samaritans in the District!? I had been calling and texting my phone constantly to see if someone would pick up or find it. I lost it around 7:15 PM and I got a call about 8 PM from a guy who found it! He was giving it to his mother who will be at the Canadian Embassy today for me to go and pick it up! Seriously, I sometimes give up on people and then they turn around and surprise you.
