Year One...the year of sickness

Everyone says that if your child is in daycare the first year is always the worst for sickness and maybe they are right. I just hope by year two her immune system will be so strong we won't be getting sick anymore. Our weekend started with a case of pink eye. For those of you that haven't had it be glad. I have been cursed with it on more then one occassion even now as an adult and poor Lyla has years ahead of her of the pink eye curse. Thankfully we were able to get that under control right away with some eyes drops from the doctor. Then last night fever struck. We thought she wasn't sleeping because of the time change but both Danny and I knew better. She was sooo hot. This morning I took her temp and there is was 100.6...I am going to try to get into the doctor today. It is like this kid can't get a break. Ugh!

Update 3/16/10: Looks like our pumpkin had good reason to be so miserable. Doctor said that she has a horrible ear infection which he classified as level 4 (don't know what that means). He also said we are probably going to go from bad to worse before we get better (which we experienced last night...Lyla didn't sleep almost at all...Danny and I even drove around the city of Tacoma at 1am trying to help her catch some zzzzs). She is still very contagious so we have been taking turns being home with her. Me yesterday, Danny today, Me tomorrow. The worst is being so helpless. All we want to do is fix it and we can't. Please keep her in your prayers and hope the amoxicillion kicks today so we can all get some zzzzs.
