First Ear Infection

This winter seems endless and hopeless to me. Ever since amy moved to the young toddler room, she has been sick. Out of the 40 some days, there might be 4 or 5 days that she's healthy, other than that, it's either her nose is running or she's coughing all the time. Now, she finally got her first ear infection. I have been dreaded for this day to come. Well... fear just stops things, doesn't it?

It's her teacher who urges us to take amy to her ped. We were really reluctant to do so cuz A) amy hates the office, and B) every time the ped just sent us home with a prescription of "more fluid". Vicky insisted from day 1 that this time is different cuz the discharge from amy's nose is thick and greenish. But since amy didn't have a fever, i just refused to listen (sigh, stupid! stupid! stupid! take a mental note: WHATEVER VICKY SAYS, DO IT!). Up until last thursday, when vicky and the other teach, kristina, were both sick, I suddenly realized how serious the virus is this time around. So before i left for the new faculty consortium, i arranged my husband to take amy to the ped. Guess what, she got ear infection!

The fever didn't come until the day before yesterday. And it hasn't stopped yet. It come and goes. With very bad appetite, Amy is still energetic, though, running around and making messes every where. Yesterday she managed to pull out a pile of newspaper my dad hid under the coffee table and read every single page of it...So i am not that worried.

I just can't believe how stupid i was. And, please, please, let this pass, SOON!
