Either I was imagining tooth pain, or I've been miraculously healed.
I showed up at the dentist last week to have him poke and prod around in my mouth asking "Does this hurt?", "Does that hurt?", "How about now??". The answers were no, no, and a big no. I felt a little silly...Now it's no secret that I have slight hypochondriac tendencies, but I've been stiff in my resolve to avoid Ibuprofen while nursing until this toothache came along. Doesn't that prove that this was serious stuff?? The dentist suggested it might have been sinus pain causing the ache, but I'm just going to go ahead and chalk this one up to a miracle. Thank you very much to everyone who prayed for me :)
My tooth is better, but I've still been on and off with this pesky fever that has been plaguing me since Christmas. I went to the doctor again last night, and she suggested what I was already pretty sure of: I'm tired and run down and I'm catching every little bug that comes my way. She told me one of my ears isn't looking good and there's a good chance it will be turning into an ear infection, so I've got her direct number for another antibiotic if the need arises. Wahoo. As I've said before, I'm very thankful that Stephen and Ava's immune systems are handling things better...
Speaking of Ava's immune system, she has been sick exactly one day of her life so far. Of course, that day happened to be the same one as her appointment with the allergist that we've been waiting a month and a half to see. We rescheduled for this month, but I have no news on the allergy front other than it seems to be flaring up again suddenly, so I'm just hoping and praying no other allergies are making an appearance. I've been forced to get even more creative with my cooking and I've been taking plenty of pictures, so hopefully I'll have the run-down for you later this afternoon!
Stay warm, everyone...
