My week had been fairly nicely planned out: work, pack, laundry, errands, pool-time, yard work, clean, soccer, story hr., haircuts, etc... so that we can scoot out the door tomorrow P.M. for our trip, with me feeling comfortable that all is well here on the home front. However, when a kid is out of whack, a Mom's schedule gets thrown a bit out of whack as well. Last night the light bulb went on in my head...wondering, "does Avery have an ear infection?!"
Here are the clues: 1. very slight fever as of this morning 2. she's waking up in the night whining, and then falling back to sleep on her own 3. she's been more irritable than normal the past 3 days, acting tired when she shouldn't be 4. last night when I was cleaning out her ears, she said "Ow!" to her right ear (she never says that when I clean her ears) 5. She isn't eating all that great (this is a mystery in itself, though, so no biggie difference there)
You tell me?! She says her ears don't hurt, and that nothing else hurts. That has been the story before, though, and she's ended up with double ear infections.
Off to the Dr. we go today, if they can squeeze us in.
