My Baby's Back!

It has been a VERY long week. Last Friday Gracie was crabby and by Sunday she was a terror. She wouldn't sleep or play, just cry. I though she was just teething, as I saw a new tooth next to her other one while she was screaming in my ear. I tried everything; Orajel, Teething Tablets (thanks, Cara!), chewing on a warm washcloth-a cold washcloth, Tylenol...to no avail. Then her nose started to run. I figured it was another sign of teething, like "the books" say. Finally, her eyes were red and puffy, and she was pulling on her ear. I figured we'd be OK as she had her nine month check up scheduled for Tuesday. The doctor's office called me on Monday and said her doctor was going to be out of the office on Tuesday and wanted to reschedule. OF COURSE. I rescheduled for Wednesday but by the time I got home from work she was worse so I got an appointment for another doctor on Tuesday. Gracie was diagnosed has "almost" having an ear infection. Luckily, she hasn't had a fever, and the doctor gave her Amoxicillion (which she loves!) and eye drops (which she h.a.t.e.s!). She is finally doing better, and by Thursday afternoon I had my smiley baby back! Whew, that was a long week!
