Life Lately
We'll call March the sick month. Both girls had on-going ear infections along with some kind of virus. It wasn't a pretty month.
The beginning of the month, Vivian woke up around 11pm. B said it sounded like she rolled out of the bed. He woke me up to let me know and we checked the monitor. She was crawling in and out of bed grabbing books. Brian went up there to tuck her back in and told her it was still 'night-night' time. He said she kept saying her head hurt. Thought maybe she bumped it, but wasn't concerned. She stayed in bed until between 4/5am with not sleeping at all. I checked the monitor periodically throughout the night, watching her. I know sometimes she has a hard time going back to sleep once she wakes in the middle of the night and she wasn't crying, so I let her be. That morning she was telling me her ear hurt. I gave her some Motrin and not long after that she napped for an hour. Took her to the Dr that afternoon and she had a had full ear infection in her right ear and partial in her left ear. I felt horrible. I should have been the one to go to her that night instead of sending B just because I thought it was going to make going to bed harder for her. You live and learn.
Fast forward a week later, Joanna started running a low-grade fever and she was fussy. Took her to the Dr and double ear infection for her. Amoxicillin round two.
Poor Vivian actually had to do 3 rounds of antibiotics in order for her ears to clear. Joanna 1 round, but she did start wheezing which lead us back to the Dr. Albuterol treatment for her. The night before going to the Dr, she woke in the middle of the night crying. She didn't want to nurse or lay in her crib. It took 3 hours for her to fall back to sleep. It was terrible. I didn't know what do or what was going on with her. She did vomit which I think made her feel better. That's when she finally went back to sleep. Along with all the congestion, runny nose, coughing, not able to breath, we had vomiting from both girls. Fun March, eh?
By the end of March both girls started feeling better thankfully since Easter was early this year.Vivian had an Easter egg hunt at school, we spent Good Friday at B's parents and had a nice Easter Sunday even though it rained. The girls loved their Easter baskets.
My Mom came to visit not long after Vivian started feeling bad. She was an enormous help! She's leaving Friday going back home, but can't wait for our trip to MS this summer for 5 weeks.
Very uneventful around here. No fun outings. Lots of hanging out in the house. Joanna has started crawling. That's been our biggest highlight. Yea Joanna!!!
