It's in the Ears

Welp, we've found the emergency room! Nora has another double ear infection. We had to go last night around 5:30 when her fever started to spike and I thought she was getting a kidney infection. Luckily there was nothing wrong with her urine, but her ears looked like hell. After two hours of pacing the waiting room and waiting for the doctors, we were on our way home with a HUGE dose of antibiotics and a prescription for more.

This little girl has one crazy pain tolerance because she never once made a dig at her ears. Wednesday night was horrible and that should have been our first indication. She was up at 3:00 AM and only took cat naps until 5:30 when Brian got up so I could try to sleep an hour before work. She was thrashing around and nothing would make her feel better. After a long tired day, it all came to a head (or should we say ear?)

Thankfully, Nora is on the mend and starting to act more like herself. At the moment, she is occupying herself with putting CDs into and out of a wicker basket. My guess is that she has been doing that for about 15 minutes. I'm not sure what the appeal is, but in a 15 month old brain, it must be amazing!

I had the opportunity to learn the new online substitute request system for my district so I could stay home with her. You better believe that I will be taking naps right along with her today.
