Mia is doing much better today despite some crankiness. She developed ear infections probably this past weekend sometime. We saw her tugging on her ears a little Sat and Sun. She then developed a temp of 101 Monday night and when I took her to the docs on Tues, they said both of her ears are becoming infected. Poor thing! She was very cranky, crying LOUDLY, and not eating solids Tues morning and nothing would calm her down except my keys....not even nursing which is not typical (she bite me today and yesterday so maybe that is why she wouldn't nurse well..I told her NO and it got her upset). Every time she wanted to be held, she'd cry even when I put her down. It was a tough day Tuesday to say the least.
Her temp went up to 103 Tuesday and luckily Tylenol brought it down that night. She slept pretty well that night and got up only once after we put her down. Wednesday Mia did better and had no temp. She was still cranky, fussy, not eating solids and tugging on her ears, but playful which was a good sign. She didn't nap her last nap yesterday at 4pm and went to bed early around 6:30pm. However, she started screaming loudly around 9 like she's down before and after rocking her for a few mins, she was good to go. Then right around 10:30, she really started sreaming and crying and woulnd't stop. I went in to rock her and calm her down but it didn't work...Mia was not having it! She was squirmy, screaming, even after nursing her which usually calms her down. It seemed like she wanted more milk, so I gave her some in a bottle which she chugged. Usually she'll lay her head down on my shoulder after eating, but not this time...she was livid! Josh even tried rocking her and she wouldn't calm down. I ended up trying to calm her down again by bringing her out in the kitchen to see Josh and then changing her which helped! Plus, she burped a good burp which helped! Mia was good to after that and slept a good night's sleep. Phew!
Today, Mia is doing better and has no temp. She's eating her solids a bit better but is still cranky. We have her on a diff type of antibiotics (b/c last time her right ear was infected, maybe a month ago, and the doc feels it may not have worked well) so we are hoping it works this time around!
