Well, after 2 weeks of fussiness (lots) and 2 weeks of 2 different antibiotics, we were back at the pediatrician's office yesterday evening with a fever of 103 and one sad, miserable little baby. Turns out the ear infection in one ear had progressed to an ear infection in 2 ears and was non-responsive to antibiotics. Who knew THAT could happen? Annie got a double dose of
tylenol (what?! who knew such an amazing thing was possible?!) and a big
ouchy shot of an antibiotic in her leg. She is fussy and uncomfortable today but the fever is down (so far) so we'll keep our fingers crossed. Poor buddy.
To add insult to injury, Annie got her first two teeth today!
We had to wait 20 minutes in the office after the shot to make sure she didn't have a reaction. She fell asleep on my chest so I got to snuggle her the whole time. In the busy chaos of our days this is something I never get to do....it was heavenly. So there was one good thing in our long miserable day!
Yep. We lost one of Erin's puppies. Brown puppy, second in line only to sweater puppy, jumped out of the stroller Tuesday morning on the way home from the park and spent 24 hours hanging out on this fence. (thank you, kind stranger.....you will never know the happiness you have bestowed upon us by rescuing this straggly looking pup!) Don't worry. This hasn't stressed me out in the least. It only took me tearing apart the house once...I mean twice....I mean three times....an 8 pm drive to the park and subsequent search of said park (yep, I was wearing pjs)...a 6 am run to the park to scour the sidewalks....a careful consultation with grandma on the route they took to and from the park....and finally a sloooooow drive accompanied by all three children over the final (different) route to locate brown puppy. True and utter joy. I could have cried. Erin, will you ever know how much I love you?
