Creeping Crud

I'm tired. I woke a couple of times between 10:00 and midnight last night. Erin was up crying at 1:00 because her creeping crud is getting worse. She spiked another high temp yesterday. She had a nasty cough and her left ear really hurt. We watched movies from the couch snuggled into a blanket. Katie was up with a bad dream, and Don came in at some point to see what the noise was from the living room. Eventually everyone went back to sleep by about 5:00. I ran through the shower so I could start waking people up and making coffee.

We took Erin in to the pediatrician. She's wheezing. Her left ear drum gave way and her right ear is also infected. She has had a chest x-ray and we're waiting for results to determine whether or not she has pneumonia. If she does not have pneumonia, then she will start steroids in addition to the antibiotics, ear drops, and inhaler. If she has pneumonia, we'll be going back in to the office for an antibiotic shot, but there will not be steroids. I'll update when we know more.
