Well, Addison slept fitfully last night, but I really think it was due to two things.
1. She slept A LOT yesterday throughout the day.
2. I think she's gotten a tad bit spoiled by sleeping on daddy's chest for the past 5 days. (which daddy doesn't mind at all).
Oh, I forgot to mention we went to the doc yesterday and they prescriped what is called "Mary's Magic Mouthwash." This is not a treatment for the mouth/tongue sores, but it does help numb them temporarily. Grandma brought some mouth swambs from Riley, so we could administer the mouthwash easier.
So, 7 am rolls around and Addie-bug wakes up. She woke up semi-fussy, but not screaming like before. We did our usual morning routine of feeding Bella, letting her out, etc... Addison got her antibiotic for the ear infection, Motrin for the pain, and then we swabbed her mouth. She then preceeded to eat 2 yogurts AND 1/4 cup of rice cereal. She drank milk and juice inbetween too, without complaint, cries, or even a painful look! She even returned to her old ways of playing at the front window and just jabbering the entire time. Things are beginning to look up!
Now, we're just waiting on Nana to get here safely with all the storms going on in Southern Indiana....
Thank you to all who have had us in your thoughts and prayers. We realize this isn't a "serious" thing, but it upsetting and painful to see your little one so distraught and in pain. It means a lot to us to know so many people care! :)

I am so glad that she is finally feeling better! I have never heard of that mouthwash-interesting- glad it worked for her! Here is to better days(and nights!)!
Yay "Addie Bug" ! ! What a tough little girl.
I am so relieved to hear that she's getting back to her normal self. What a week and I can't imagine having to watch your little one go through something like that. Way to go parents and we are praying that each minute brings a bit less pain and she's better in no time.
