Earaches, not fun.

What a week! Saturday night Loralei started having a fever, and it just kept getting worse and worse. Tylenol and Ibuprofen didn't work to take it down, and she was just miserable. Finally, on Tuesday we took her to Dr. Allen. He checked her over and didn't see anything obvious, but gave us something for her clogged nose and to help the fever. He wanted us to come in on Thursday, and told us that if she got worse to bring her in immediately. We gave her the medicine, and for the first time in three days, she acted normal. She crawled around, getting into everything and laughed! It made our hearts happy. She fell asleep, and slept all night long!

Then, she woke up miserable! I brought her into the doctor, to find her ear drum had burst in the night. Once we knew what it was, a round of anti-biotics solved her sickness. What a relief! I was beginning to worry that something more serious was going on.
