I was reminded last Thursday how truly lucky we were for Madelyn's sleeping schedule. Wednesday/Thursday night she awoke around 4:00 am screaming. We proceeded to wait a short bit see if she would just fall back asleep. After about 30-45 minutes of hard crying I went in and took her out and rocked with her. That work all 2 minutes so we brought her in our bed (which normally we would never do but I'm sure we all remember being sick and snuggling with our parents) and let her watch Noggin. That worked and after 30 minutes or so I placed her back into bed and she fell asleep.
Thursday/Friday night no more then 40-60 minutes of sleeping occured and she was happy and awake as could be. I figured it was teething. Around lunch time on Friday my gut told me to take her temperature and sure enough 101.8*. So I called our pediatrician...closed early on Friday. I called the next pediatrician and they got her in in an hour. We loaded in the car and headed over. Sure enough Madelyn has...tonsilitous, an ear infection in her left ear, and all top 4 teeth are cutting at the same time. She is on amoxicillion and doing well. She is such a great baby and loving girl. I'm especially loving all the snuggling she is giving me.
She doing really well and is such a trooper.
Here is Madelyn enjoying cartoons on Saturday morning in our bed.
