Another First

Elena had another first this weekend, and not such a good one. She got her first ear infection! :( She had a fever Thursday night, and didn't sleep very well (which means neither did we, of course). I had a conference all day Friday, so Josh had to stay home with her. He took her to the doctor, and she had a temp of 104 by the time they got there. They checked out the ears, said definitely an ear infection; did a flu test and no flu (thank God). So we started her on amoxicillin Friday, and she was so much better by Saturday! Today she doesn't have a fever, but she's still pretty cranky. And she's eating ALL THE TIME. It was hard to see our little girl so sick, but she really was a trooper- she just slept all the time, which is what you should do when you're sick anyway!

Just an update, she's feeling much better, and seems to have passed her cough along to me (lucky me). I'm pretty pleased that she made it until now before she got her first ear infection; I really worried about that since she was a c-section baby. But she's been a pretty healthy baby, all things considered. One more way that we are truly blessed.
