Sick Girl

Yesterday afternoon daycare called me at work to give me a heads up that Piper was complaining of left ear pain. I picked the kids up as usual and we headed to Isaac's last baseball game for the summer. She was fussy, but I didn't think much of it. She also didn't eat much dinner, but went to bed without incident. About 1:30 in the morning I woke up to an unusual sound. Several seconds later, the sound was closer. It turned out to be Piper throwing up next to my bed. And that began her 4 1/2 hour ordeal of throwing up and dry heaving. she finally fell asleep with me on the couch at about 5am. During this time, she continued to complain of left ear pain headache and stomachache. I called in sick to work and brought her into be seen. I was concerned about your infection and\or strep throat. Strep screen was negative but she does have an ear infection. As I'm typing this, she is sitting on my lap and finally starting to perk up. Here's to hoping for a quick recovery!

With me at about 4am this morning.


She fell asleep on the couch waiting for me as I put her puke-covered blanket in the wash.


Although I don't like to see my little girl sick, I don't mind the cuddling.
