Another Week of Sick Ella

So in a mini-repeat performance of her December never ending sickness she came home from daycare early on Monday with a 102 fever. Woke up Tuesday with the same. Trip to doctor revealed no flu, no strep, probably respiratory virus, nothing we can do. Wednesday no significant fever, but a really cranky baby who can't go to school. Thursday, ditto. Thursday evening, round 2 doctor's appointment; negative on urinalysis, no definitive answers. Awesome. Saturday drove to San Antonio to drop Ella off to spent a couple of nights with Granny and Popo for a parental reprieve. Granny reports very cranky, clingy baby for 2 days. Pick her up Monday afternoon and she is crying non-stop. Straight from San Antonio to the doctor's, this time a real diagnosis!! Ear infection. From doctor's to pharmacy, before even leaving pharmacy, shot for Ella of drugs, home to bed with Mama pleading to the powers that be to please let this child be ok when she wakes up! Trying to cram in 40 hours of work week into 25 hours and tag teaming with husband in care of sick child is KILLING ME! Voila! Tuesday morning Miss Ella greeted me upon walking into her room with a huge smile and a request for "cereal and panties". SHEW!!! Back to normal?? Here is a face that was very familiar throughout the week. If looks could kill.... Moment of feeling a bit better, so we were graced with a smile! While the good mood lasted Papa took his girls out for an early Valentine's dinner and got us some flowers. We love you Papa!
