Does this look like...?

Veronica started on antibiotics on Sunday for her ear infection. Remember? The ear infection just about anybody can diagnose because there was green pus draining from her ear canal?

So, does this look like a little girl with an ear infection?


The picture was about an hour after dosing her with Tylenol for a fever. And, maybe if you know that Nica wouldn't let me set her down all day, and she woke up every hour last night you might reconsider.

I looked at hear ears this morning (after I scrubbed my face ten times so I could see out of my bleary sleep-deprived eyes). The right one looked horrible. The left one didn't look great either (but I didn't want to look too much since that's the one that ruptured).

So, I called the doctor to see if maybe he'd take my word for it and just switch antibiotics over the phone.

No such luck.

So, after four trips to the doctor this week (Sunday, Monday, Wednesday and now Friday), and four prescriptions for antibiotics, maybe we might get better around here. (See all those conditional modifiers?)

Except, well, Zoë came home with a headache.

And a fever.

*Sigh*

Maybe she's just getting another virus and she'll shake it off. Maybe it'll be FIVE visits to a doctor this week.

I'm glad Travis is home, safely. And that he had a good trip. And that tomorrow the Stake Relief Society is having a conference that I get to attend and I get to be the mommy cat who shakes off all her young and runs away (but I'm know I'm leaving them in the capable and loving hands of their father).

But, I might just sleep through the whole conference...
