Our week started off with a bang: Dakota has been sick and had a coughing fit that scared me. She was gasping for air, so congested, and her eyes were goopy. I called our pediatrician’s office and had her seen. Poor Kota Bear has her first ear infection. I’m glad I brought her in when I did because the doctor said her eardrum was bulging (but thankfully it didn’t rupture!).

Dakota’s fan club at the doctor’s office 😂

Now we’re doing ten days of antibiotics and she’s taking them like a champ. She has been so pleasant despite being sick. Early one morning, she was coughing and sniffling at 3:00 am and Jimmy was using a bulb syringe to suction her nose and she was smiling so hard at him! Who does that 🤣 (more…)
