Tough times over here.
We are just back from the Doctor again and wouldn't you know it.
The double ear infection she had lingers in the left ear.
Two Molars have come in and she's sporting a cold.
So more meds.
great.
Coughing.
and coughing and coughing and coughing
As soon as she goes down to sleep (which takes awhile these days with the ear)
she coughs herself awake. 10 minute naps all day.
One 10 minute nap that is.
So we have an overtired, pained toddler on our hands.
Fun times.
I have to say though, for all she's going through she's a trooper.
I even get giggles out of her once and awhile.
All she wants to do sometimes is read. That kid is probably getting 2 hours of reading time day!
I don't know what I'd do without Grammy and Grandpa and a very involved Daddy.
They make it possible for me to get a breath once and awhile which is so so vital.
I find my well of patience knowing I have their support through this time.
It takes a village.
And while we wait it out, we'll do what we can to ride the wave...
Like finger painting the dishwasher with a teething biscuit.
Or *gasp* hanging on the counter helping Mom cook.
(she found a love of raw onions *shudder* I didn't offer, she grabbed and loved them!)
Until she stood up
and then operation "Distract Piper" had to be redirected to much safer ground.
Is this over yet?
nope.
Not yet.
