Ohh life as a parent. Rule number 1: expect the unexpected.
Coral woke up last night and called for me. This is very unusual for her. She normally only does that if she has a bad dream, or if she's sick. When I went in to get her she told me she's sick and needed medicine. She seemed fine to me, no temperature, so I put her back in bed without giving it any more thought.
As I watched her this morning, I knew something was up. My first clue was that she was laying on the couch, and not moving....at all. That almost never happens. My second clue was the goop dripping from her ear. I touched her ear, and she screamed, and again said she's sick and needed medicine. So Andrew came home from work so we could take her to the walk in. Sure enough, she has her first ever ear infection. The dr was surprised at how good natured she is and after looking at her ear said she should be screaming in pain right.
And so now, our Valentines day will be spent nurturing our little girl back to health. We plan on ordering some take out after she has gone to bed, and snuggling up in front of the tv, listening for her to call for us.
Valentines day as a parent...sigh...I wouldn't trade it for anything though. Feel better my sweet little girl.
