Alice’s ears are NOT still infected. We got the All Clear.

Her crabbiness is likely caused by teething. Oh, faaaaabulous.

So. We just dosed her with Motrin and will be praying for another sleepful evening like we had last night. It was blissful.

Is it time to call the carpet cleaner people when your kid gets filthy from crawling around on the carpet in the playroom?

Ew.

I know it’s from all the red clay that the dogs track in on rainy days, but still. Alice’s pajamas are BROWN on the knees and feet.

Ew.

Alice was supposed to have her ears rechecked this morning at 9am, so I got up early and showered and was feeling pretty good about my efficiency… Came downstairs to discover the answering machine blinking. The pediatrician will not be in today, because all three of his little girls are sick (one is even in the hospital) — yikes! So. I spoke to the nurse and told her that we have a plane trip Wednesday and I think Alice is getting another infection. So we’re going in to see one of Brian’s partners at 3pm.

It could be nothing, but with a flight on Wednesday I’d much rather err on the side of paranoia. I will be getting some Similisan eardrops to put in Alice’s ears on Wednesday, regardless of today’s outcome.
