Monkey Bean Update

Just a quick update. Yesterday, Sophie's temperature spiked up to 103, so I took her to the doctor. Turns out it's an ear infection. We got some antibiotics and we're now, hopefully, on the road to recovery. So far, I haven't seen any real improvement. Her temperature is still hovering around 101/102, she is super fussy and won't eat.

I was up with her most of last night, while she periodically slept in my arms. At about 4:30am, I took her into the guest room and attempted to lay down and sleep, since I couldn't fall asleep sitting up, but as many of you know, sleeping with a toddler is difficult. Sleeping with a sick toddler is almost impossible. So, I think I got about 3 hours of sleep. Strangely, I am not delirious from lack of sleep. For those of you keeping count, we're at about 7 hours in the last two days. Is it some kind of mom endorphin that keeps me going?

Neil's going to be home early this afternoon to relieve me. Maybe I can sneak in a couple hours of sleep.

PS - She has a 2 year molar coming in, too. When it rains, it monsoons.

  1. Poor little darling... hope as the hours go by she starts to feel better... and I hope you catch up on some much needed sleep, too. I don't know we do it in these instances... moms are the true super-heros, don't you think? Take care...

    You're a superhero, really. Poor Sophie for being sick, poor you for getting so little rest. Here's to hoping things calm down soon.

  6. Poor baby--and poor mama! I had never in my life had an earache until a few months back and I thought I was going to d.i.e. Seriously, the pain!

    Hoping Sphie feels better soon!

  12. I would bet that the ear infection and the molars are related. But...with my girls, as soon as they got on the good drugs, it went away pretty quickly. I hope that you find the same!
