Last night: Sucked.
We were up from before 2 until after 4. Alex was crying. Screaming in obvious pain. We thought it might be her throat, because it would erupt after she would burp or yawn or anything of the sort. We called the on-call pediatrician, and they said to give her some tylenol (which we already had), and just try and calm her down. If it didn't stop, they said we should take her to the ER. I was not composed, I assure you. Thank God that by the time the doctor called back, Paul had managed to get her to sleep. We stayed up and held her for a little bit to make sure she was out (this was an HOUR after we gave her the tylenol), and managed to get her into her swing without waking her up. She got up a few times, whimpering. The saddest whimper I've ever heard. Her voice is shot from being sick and crying so hard. We went to the doctor first thing this morning, and during the ear exam, she starts screaming. There, that's what it was. She's got an ear infection. I officially HATE ear infections.
Today, she's been happy for the most part. Every once in a while, she'll start whimpering, but it passes quickly. The doctor warned us that this could get worse before it gets better, so we are preparing ourselves for another hard night. And it's not even 10 in the morning. Ack.
Stupid Daycare.

colds are the worst. but it does help her immune system, and you have to just hope she suffers thru the next cold a little better .
I hope you all survive!
Try maybe rubbing vicks on her feet and putting socks over them, I know sounds weird, but i know people who swear by it. Seems to have worked for us!
OH MY LORD I HAAAAATE EAR INFECTIONS. I have one right now and guess what? NO DRUGS FOR ME. boo.
So sorry about your sick little girl. I hate that too. :(
