Tired and Frustrated
Emerson has not been feeling so hot the last few days. I took her to the pediatrician on Thursday because she has been coughing a lot. I had tried to wean her from her respiratory meds, but the coughing started - the hallmark sign that she needs the meds - so we started them back up. Other times when we have tried to wean her and had to start back up, her cough would clear up within a few days. Not this time. So the pediatrician finds that besides the cough, she also has an ear infection and recommends a flu shot and some additional respiratory meds. Since her visit, Emerson has been running fevers, has been CRANKY, fussy, crying like she hasn't cried since she was a newborn trying to deal with her reflux, not sleeping and just generally being a bear. Poor girl...she's having a bad weekend and it's wearing her and us out. Last night she was up from 10pm-1am pretty much crying non-stop. So for the 2nd time in her life, her and I slept together on the bed in her room as that is the only way she would sleep. This situation makes me VERY NERVOUS, so I didn't sleep much, just mostly dozed. She's in bed right now after a false start an hour ago. I hope she stays down. Some sleep would do all of us a world of good. OH, and I guess the teething isn't helping matters! Pray for us!

Poor Girl, I hope she's feeling better soon. If all else fails, just tell her that her Nanny (along with her assitants) is coming back soon, it will work like a charm.
