Hubs' dad is flying in for her bday, friends from HOU have hotel booked for it... a small family get-together but expensive for some...

would go ahead and take her to the Dr. Get a good start on it, so she can start getting better before thurs

I like EternalSunshine 's idea.

I third the doctor idea.

4th it! G's 1st was a nightmare with an ear infection. All the pictures are of a crying baby.

Ok, thanks for the push, I have an appt at 11:40. Hope they can help her out. I would hate for her to be sick and honestly, I don't know how

much more sleep deprivation I can take. I am not sure I slept at all after 2am.

and poor hubs, he has to take his first test in his Masters program today. He is beat.

glad you are going!!

she is perfectly fine but for a runny nose during the day. she is eating a bit less, but is nursing more at night. it's really just

overnight where it gets bad...

Not much to report. Doc figures its viral and will run its course. One ear is inflamed but not badly. I got an rx for ear drops for pain

And if not better in a couple days, call them and they will call in an antibiotic.

does she have stuffy/runny nose and such, too?

duh - just read above.

Yep, running like a faucet most the day.

Slight wet cough but not bad.

I recommend getting some saline drops - Everyone I know SWEARS by them for nasal relief. Maybe that will help her sleep a little better.

I have a saline spray, but thought that was more to loosen up the mucus so you could suction it out better??

have you tried a cool mist humidifier too? that helps with the nose gunk.

I hate viral bs. Just give me drugs, dammit

I bought the vicks warm humidifer that has camphor in it. I think it helped as she did sleep for a few hours peacefully.

but when we moved to the living rm at 2am, i completely forgot about it.
