Problem Solved!

I took P to the doctor this afternoon and she has ear infections in both ears! I was horrified upon learning this. I totally would have taken her to the doctor sooner had I known, but I thought she would be running a fever if she had an ear infection (let alone two). Oh, I feel awful - and so, so glad I didn't try any variation of the "cry it out" method. It's like I read somewhere, if you plan on asking your child to cry "it" out, you better be darn sure you know what "it" is. Anyway, the doctor says she'll be back to normal in 36 to 48 hours on the antibiotics. She's already doing much better this evening. This time last night I'd already put her to sleep four times. Tonight she hasn't woken up at all yet. Here's hoping she (and I) gets some much needed sleep. Thanks to everyone who wrote or contacted me after the last blog post. It is so nice to have people to ask advice from.
