Little Baby Ears

Poor Silvia has another ear infection, this time in both ears. She's been super fussy for about a week, crying a lot and not eating or sleeping well. I knew something wasn't right, since usually she's just very cheery and calm.

For Mother's Day we drove up to Boulder to visit with my Aunt Juanita and cousins Liz, Vicki and Cathi. It was wonderful to see everyone, I hadn't seen Liz in ages, but little Silvia cried pretty much the entire visit and the whole trip back; she just couldn't get comfortable. Hopefully next time we get to visit with them it'll be while she's healthy so they can see her super smiley side. She started her antibiotics this afternoon and by this evening already seemed to feel better.

Unfortunately, the fact that she's developing these infections so young sets up a predisposition for the future. We've got to be extra careful to help her avoid catching colds, since that just makes her ripe for another ear infecti0n. Poor little baby ears!
