Not again!

Well, we were all sick AGAIN this past weekend. We all had coughs and head colds. Shayla was up until almost 4am Sunday night (Monday morning). So, between her being up all night and my being sick, I decided to take the day off work. It was wonderful to be able to sleep in and then veg on the couch and watch movies all day. Unfortunately, Shayla was a banshee on Monday evening. She screamed, threw hissy fits, punched and kicked for almost 3 hours straight. That's when we decided to take her to the emergency room. We knew something wasn't right. After only 2 hours in the ER (sad that 2 hours isn't a lot, isn't it?) we were sent home with a prescription for a strong antibiotic for her. Turns out her ear infection either never cleared up all the way or came back with a vengence. She slept well on Monday night, thank goodness! Tuesday she was pretty good. She was kind of clingy and cranky but that was nothing compared to the few days before. She did not want to sleep last night at all. We kept getting her out of her crib and letting her sit in the living room with us to try and get her tired. Finally, when we went to bed at midnight, she seemed to be tired enough to go to sleep. She didn't sleep the whole night through but she didn't keep me up much either, so I can't complain. All I can do is hope that the antibiotics are starting to work on that ear infection so my poor baby can finally get back to the happy baby she usually is!!
