Just yesterday I found out that Katie, my almost 10mo. Old, still has a horrible ears infection. At this point in time I'm calling it chronic and we have an appointment today and tomorrow to get next round of shots of Rocepherin. If that doesn't work then we need to get tubes put in her ears. The doctor told me that it is common in babies her age to get this done, and she very well could simply be placating me. Either way my emotions are a mixed bag. This would however explain why she doesn't sleep as well as Ali did at her age. Ali is something different altogether. For a long time she did an excellent job sleeping all night in her room by herself. Lately, however, she wakes up every hour or so screaming or sweaty and eventually ends up in our bed. I know countless resources say if you want to be a serious writer then you need to write every day. Sadly, for me that just hasn't happened. It may just sound like excuses but for the past three weeks one family member had a cold and of course trouble sleeping. Not to mention our Internet has been spotty. Finally bringing us to the sweetness of the bittersweet if Katie gets ear tubes, hopefully she can sleep better and my nights can go back to writing, serious writing. And good-bye to random time spot editing.
