Still Ill

I have to admit that we've been quite fortunate with Abby's health. She didn't get "sick" until she was about seven months old, with a throat infection. So, I knew that her getting sick was bound to happen. Unfortunately, March has not been a great month for her. As most of you know, Abby got a double ear infection two weeks ago. She was miserable, and the doctor prescribed some Amoxicilin, so I was hopeful that she would feel better ASAP. She seemed to get a tad bit better toward the end of the week, but she still was quite fussy and "not herself." This past week she has continued to battle the following symptoms: extreme fussiness (very unlike her), some fever, chest and nose congestion, a cough she's had for two weeks now, a runny nose, and waking up in the middle of the night screaming. Needless to say, the Abbster has been under the weather for the past three weeks!

So, we went back to the pediatrician this morning and it turns out that both of her ears are still infected. Poor thing! So now we're trying a new antibiotic. Please pray that this one will work! It is NO fun having a sick baby. It is such a helpless feeling, and I'm ready for her to get back to feeling 100%! Plus, it's no fun paying our co-pay everytime we go to the doctor. I mean, I like our pediatrician and all, but I'm not exactly wanting to visit him every couple of weeks! :)

However, even with a double ear infection for two weeks, in typical Abby fashion, she still is a happy baby. Here are some recent pics.

She wanted to be an adult for a few minutes and try her hand at driving. How terrifying would this sight be if you were driving down the road! Ha. Notice her hands are at "10" and "2." I didn't even teach her that. She is purely brilliant.
Here's Abby and her DaDa. There's nothing cuter than a baby in jeans! They just look so grown up. I love it!


Here's Thursday night's sunset. God had His paintbrushes working that night. Absolutely beautiful.
