Trudging Tuesday

While it's nice to have suspicions confirmed, it is not nice to still have to deal with a sick child. Tree Faerie has an ear infection, just like I suspected. Sadly, she's also running a fever off and on. This morning at 3:30AM, her temperature was 102.2 degrees, and she was awake and delirious. She had a lot to say in a very sing-songy voice, which would have been absolutely adorable had it not been 3:30 in the freaking morning. The Motrin finally kicked in and broke her fever around 4:30.

Of course, then I couldn't sleep well. Since scheduling the appointment for my bladder infection, I have developed a terrible chest cold. If Tree Faerie had not demanded that I get out of bed this morning, I would have probably stayed there until my appointment this afternoon. I'm certain I'm running a fever despite the Advil I took this morning. Basically I just feel like crap and still have to pee every 15 minutes. I'm at work, though, at least until my appointment this afternoon.

Sorry for the whiney post, folks. Hopefully all will be better tomorrow for the second installment of Wandering Wednesday.

I just took my little boy in today and he too has an ear infection. Blast! At least now he can be on antibiotics and start getting better soon.
