So for over a week, our little Noodle has been in great spirits -- the best mood she's been in for months. We figured the ears were clear. Last night, we surprised grandma and with grandpa took her out to Fridays for apps and margaritas. Natalie was a champ, flirting with other tables, having a blast up past her bed time. But once we got home, she was up literally all night, either crying to the point of hyperventilating or quietly sobbing in her room. Today she slept all day. So Joey and I decided to bring her to urgent care. She had a fever of 101.6 and he said her left ear drum is about to burst. Apparently, that's not the worst thing in the world, like it sounded to me. Apparently, it would take the pressure off and drain. Whatever, it sounds bad to mommy. She's sleeping peacefully now, doped up on Advil, Tylenol and antibiotics. I hope my happy baby returns soon. I feel so helpless when she cries that hard.
