First major illness

We haven't posted in forever because we are just recovering from EG being sick for the first time. Here is the play-by-play...

Sunday: Wouldn't sleep at night. The only sleep we got was all of us in the big bed together.
Monday: Better, tired, but had a hard time sleep that night too.
Tuesday: Fever. Fever. Fever. Calls to nurse lines and doctors. No sleeping.
Wednesday: Fever. Doctor's appointment. Raging right ear infection. Pink medicine.
Thursday: Fever. Some improvement.
Friday: A little better. Still struggling to sleep. Second cold is full force.
Saturday - Wednesday: getting better. sleeping is a struggle and eating is totally optional.
Thursday: much better. slow eating. cries for a little during the night, but sleeps by herself.
Friday: sleeping through the night again.
Saturday: Decided to make her bottles cold - she is now sucking them down. Sleeps through the night. Done with the pink medicine (all thirty doses).

It was a very, very long two weeks. It throws the entire family off. It also reminds you how precious sleep and routine are to everyone in the house.

Coming soon....see our little walker
