Sorry blog readers, there will be no pictures this update. We had fun plans for the weekend but as of 30 minutes ago, we desperately were in need of a do-over button for the weekend - we feel like we haven't gotten a weekend at all. Friday night we had pizza and ice cream at our house with some friends and Liv did pretty well. We decided on Saturday morning to take Liv into urgent care because her cold was getting worse and she really wasn't herself. Double ear infection was the outcome - both of her tubes were clogged, which caused the infection. Okay, we've dealt with this before so we thought she'd be back to her old self quickly. Nope - she has only seemed worse.
That night we had our friends, the Bodkin's, over for dinner and so Walt and Liv could play outside. Liv was tolerating the play time outside but wasn't herself. By the time we sat down for dinner, she suddenly spiked a fever (102*) and cried nonstop. I'm talking the kind of crying where you almost can't hear the conversation, even though she's in a different room type crying. Thankfully, they have a 2 1/2 year old son so they understood, but still - we were embarrassed. (Walt was a champ - finished Duane's BBQ chicken, broccoli and 3 scoops of Duane's baked beans, and a cupcake!) Liv was in bed by about 6:45pm.
Today wasn't much better - her fever had gone down but man-oh-man, let's add in some teething for the fun of it! Why not, right? Her ears drained over night (sorry, TMI?) so that was a good sign. We changed her shirt 4 times because of all the drool and she pretty much cried all day. Her only happy time - a quick bike ride with Duane while I got dinner together. She's isn't really eating anything so it's gotta be the teeth. For all the pain she's in, I seriously hope these are the last ones to come in because it's starting to wear on our nerves.... Or, to make ourselves laugh, we're trying to tell ourselves it's her April Fool's joke on us. Ha.
Sorry to be such a Debbie Downer! We hope you all had a great weekend! We have an exciting late week/weekend coming up - Grandma Potter is coming for Easter!!! There will be lots of diapers that Duane and I don't change and lots of love coming Liv's way!
