Poor Sylvia

After our bout with a nasty virus, Sylvia had a fever! It got up to 103.3 and would go down and then back up. I took her to the doctor and they told us she had a ruptured right eardrum. No wonder she was screaming! Well, we got antibiotics and we thought she was on the mend...until I saw fluid leaking from her left ear! We took her back to the doctor and her left eardrum is also ruptured. It's not uncommon and they should heal back well. Poor baby. She's been totally out of sorts lately and we were afraid this may cancel our trip to Arizona, but they said she's fine to fly. They said since the pressure is relieved, it's better. If it was just fluid build up they would have advised against it because the altitude would have been very painful. She's on antibiotics and eardrops. This is our first ear infection and first round of prescription drugs! That's pretty good.

It KILLS us to see our babies hurting. She's a super trooper though and always seems to be able to crack a smile or make a silly noise. She's such a good girl. Evelyn escaped it; it's nice to only have one baby sick at a time. That's for sure!

Riding on a Pony


The girls' love their new pony! I can't wait to get a video of how they rock it back and forth! They actually hug it and giggle. So cute!
