not feeling good...

Oh man! What a day. I got to daycare right at 4:00 to walk in and find my baby girl with bright red cheeks and the teacher on the phone leaving me a message. Laela had a 102 degree temperature. Of course we immediately took her to the doctor. They are really great about getting us in. It is so confusing with little ones. Laela has been teething and then Saturday she started showing signs of a cold (runny nose and a cough). Eventhough she has not felt too wonderful, she is still truckin' along. She went to daycare yesterday and today. Even when they told me about her temp they said that she still wanted to play with her friends. It was really sad to see her look so yucky.
Well...long story short...she has a really bad left ear infection and small infection in the right ear. Also, the runny nose, cough and congestion. YIKES! Well, of course we filled the prescription immediately and gave it to her when we got home. She was SOOOOOOO tired and worn out from the day that I was sure she was off to sleep with no problemos tonight. HA! FUNNY! NOT SO TRUE!
As I am writing this, she is playing with her toys in the living room. Let me tell you two things: 1)The current time is 8:00. 2) She typically goes to bed at 6:00. We put her to bed and she fussed for a minute but then sat up and played. She would fall over and lay down and just when you think she is asleep she would pop up again. Then she started crying and crying and crying. This was the "I am in pain" cry, not the "I don't want to sleep" cry. I went in and rocked her and got her to sleep. Next thing you know she is awake and giggling...crawling all around! Of course we did not make it any better. We joined her for some fun on the floor!
Okay...no more fun. Back to the crib. She sat up and played a little more and cried a little more. Again, I went in and rubbed her head (this is a new thing that she seems to LOVE). Oh yes...I normally do not go back into her room. Once we put her down with music and paci...that is it! Tonight I think I feel so bad that she is in pain. Poor baby girl! Okay...so the head rub. It was working perfect. I just thought now is my time to get out. One more rub and she opened her eyes, looked at me and belted out the loudest giggle. Loud enough that Ro came in from the other room to see what the heck was going on. Oh man...and that is what leads to her now playing with her toys at 8:00 on a Tuesday night.
Oh...yes...Ro will have "daddy duty" tomorrow since Laela had fever today. What will tomorrow bring...oh how I wish I was a fly on the wall! :)
