I took Sadie to the doctor this week, Diagnosis: ear infection in both ears, lungs clear. After two weeks of sleepless nights, an off-an-on-again fever and a runny nose that developed into a croupy cough I decided to take her in...she is tough as nails, this little one, and really hadn't been pulling on her ears or complaining. I left the doctor feeling like a horrible mom and wondering why I didn't take her in a week ago. Looking back, I guess it's always easier to see the symptoms, but she is also getting a mouthful of teeth, so it is always hard to tell.

It's so hard to know sometimes. I've had times I've taken babies in because they sounded awful only to be told their lungs were clear. Then I've had times I'm there for a regular check up and they say, your baby has a fever and an ear infection.. and I had no idea. Joseph had a febrile seizure again in Feb. and a 6 day fever, then was put on an inhaler for wheezing. I didn't think his cough sounded bad. Even with three kids I'm still learning.
