Even after 16 months, mum is a little slow {ahem} on the uptake

So, ya know, remember me complaining about Missy Tantrum Pants? And then, the last time I was miffed at Missy's apparent personality 180?

Well, if I had been paying better attention, I would have realized they have something in common: sickness. (Duh!)



Crusties. We've been stuck with them for some time.


Not one day after I was Oy Veying back in July, Daisy came down with a doozie of a flu virus. Well, now it seems that she still has the sinus infection that resulted from that same flu but also an ear infection - and a pretty decent one at that.

Oops.

In my (our) defense, it's not like she has been rolling around the floor, grabbing at her ears. Further, she has the vocabulary these days to communicate where her "owie" is but hasn't once said "ear" or even pointed to it. Of course, after today's pediatrician appointment, you even mention "owie" and she points to her ear (as well as her knee, which is a real piece-of-work, let me tell you, after several park visits.) Yeah, thanks for that help, pumpkin.

Doc was pretty surprised that all we've witnessed is some touchiness and lots of green snot, which seems to have been gushing now for the better part of two months (poor baby.) Turns out she has a anti-biotic resistant bacteria, so the Amoxacilyn (sp?) didn't do much to clear it out of her system. Now she's on some doozie of an anti-bac that caused diarrhea and vomiting. Super fun. Right before our Labor Day Monterey trip...

Good news is, though, there may just be a "pill" for this little pill.



Powering through. Not much stops Missy, especially no silly ear infection. Pah!
