1st Major Ear Infection

Well ... we almost made it 3 years without a major ear infection. =( We are thankful that has not been something we've had to deal with, but bummed that Lydia has been sick. She woke up last Tuesday with a nasty runny nose that would not go away. It seemed like that and a little cough was all it was. No fever and no fussing about her ears hurting. We put her in bed Friday night and she started whining ... and whining turned to crying ... and crying turned to straight up screaming. =( We were up most of the night with her. I felt awful because there was nothing that I could do to help her. The doctor wanted to see her ... so we took her in and turned out she had an awful ear infection. =(

On our way to my niece's birthday party. Lydia cried all morning because she didn't want to go to the doctor and wanted to go to Eden's party. It was pitiful! It was @ Jump!Zone and she was so excited. Thankfully she got to jump for a few minutes when we got there before it was time to leave. She did however get a "stick" from the doctor that tasted like grape that she really liked!

 Putting ear drops in a VERY active little girl is not easy! She does fine for the first few minutes, and then she starts asking "Is it done yet?!?" Thankfully we've been able to keep her occupied with Dora or one of her readers.

I'm ready for her to get feeling better ... but I have loved the extra cuddle time with her!

Thankfully after 5 days of antibiotics and ear drops she is starting to feel normal again. Hopefully by the time she finishes her medicine she will feel 100%!!
