Ear Infection =(



Well, poor Kenzie has had kind of a rough few days. She has been teething, and has had an awful time sleeping. The past three nights she has been up for 2 hours or more in the middle of the night, just crying every time I would lay her back down. We thought it was just her teeth, since she is cutting four on top right now, but we went ahead and called the doctor since she has also had a low fever since Wednesday. Sure enough, the doctor said that she has an ear infection in her right ear, and actually, fluid had built up behind her eardrum and it burst. I, of course, feel awful about it, but she said that sometimes they just move too fast to do anything about it. So she is on an antibiotic and ear drops (which are loads of fun), and hopefully she will be feeling a lot better soon! She has really been very happy during the day, though - she's not really acting sick. I'm just glad that we know what's wrong!
