Feeling a bit better

M's starting to feel better now. We're well under way with the Amoxil doses, and have scaled back the Panadol. If necessary, there's a bit of Dimetapp around bedtime, to help dry up the nose (otherwise if she wakes during the night, you can find her headl lying in a damp spot, poor thing - must be horrid when you can't blow your nose). No waking up last night through the night ... we'll see how tonight goes. I've got a cold now, so not keen on spending too much time awake in the middle of the night.

Over the weekend, I was at the annual CM consultant conference. There was lots of great training, inspiring speakers, AWESOME product launches, and a sneak peek of a future digital product ...
Hopefully within the next few days, I'll be able to add a link to my very own CM website. So cool. At the Gala Dinner on Sat night, I ran into my brother Cam and sister Peta. They were at a Thiess fundraiser in the room next door! Who'da thunk it?

Tomorrow's People's day at the Ekka. We haven't seriously thought about taking M to the Ekka, but ever since I said to John "you aren't going to the Ekka, are you?", he's wanted to go. Unlikely to happen at this stage. Hopefully we'll hold out for another year or two ... or if we don't, we'll only be looking at animals and the like, no rides or bags! I'm so harsh. ;)

Sick girl

So M has had a cold on and off since starting daycare. We knew it would be this way, and it seems that getting sick when around other kids is inevitable - even if one of us stayed at home with M til she starts school, we'd be going through all this with a 5 year old in grade one. Since Sunday, her cold's been rather yucky, and M has been having some cough syrup. This was perfect timing for her first babysitting session with Gramps and Gran Lylia. Until Wednesday night, the odd bit of Demazin, as required, seemed to be doing the trick (and a visit to the GP in between to make sure that it wasn't anything more serious). Wednesday night we had a very upset little girl waking up every hour or so. I was feeling so happy to be back at work ... not! The last few nights have been rather horrid, and typically involved an hour or so of trying to convince M that she wants to sleep in her bed from about 3am til 4am. It's such a shock to get some yucky sleep happening, after having good sleep for a while!
M's been rather upset this afternoon, so we called a Doctor out for a home visit. The inside of one ear is looking red and bulging (I think he said Titus something) and he's prescribed antibiotics for the next week. Poor little chook. It must be so hard to have pain and occasional fever and just not be able to do anything more about it than cry and want cuddles from Mummy and Daddy.
