I spoke too soon. Last night around 1 am, I heard Mini Bug crying. I went to her room, and she was in pain. She said, hurts. I asked her what hurts, and after a minute or two of more crying, I was able to get it out of her, that her ear was hurting. A lot. Now she was just at the Dr’s office and so was the lil guy. When I told the Doc that the little one was pulling on his ears, he said it was from the head cold and pressure, but the ears looked fine in both children. So, I figured her head was stuffed up and that was causing the ear pressure (pain). I gave her some Tylenol, and brought her out into the living room and stayed with her on the couch. It was an all nighter. The crying certainly didn’t help, because you know, crying by itself causes congestion. I kept giving her sippy bottles of hot lemonade and told her that it would make her ear feel better. It did, for about 5 minutes each time. Then she would start the crying again.
At 4:15 am, I finally talked her into taking a nice hot bubble bath. I let her stay in there until the water got a little cooler, and then bundled her up nice in warm in her Pj.s and let her lay back down on the couch and watch Nick Jr. That did the trick. She was out like a light. So I went to bed. Then about 2 hours later, I heard her crying again. Went into the living room, and she said hurts again. I felt her head, it was hot. I gave her some meds, and let her come to bed with me since my husband had already gone to work. we slept until 10 when my mom showed up to pick my son up to go to the dentist. My butt is dragging low and hard for sure. I am drained. I sure hope these kids get over what is going around soon. I do feel so bad for them…but this is running me down to the max. The stress is starting to show. I have dark circles under my eyes, I think I might have to search for best acne treatment out there, and even my hair seems to be dull and stringy.
What I think is they are catching every single thing there is out there to catch right now. Just when I think they are improving, bam, they are down again. Sooner or later, it has to stop..it just has to. I don’t know how much longer I can deal with this.
