I'm barely surviving.
Abigail has an ear infection and we're both on antibiotics (mine are unrelated), and she isn't sleeping AT ALL. Her longest stretch in the past five nights has been an hour, and she isn't napping, and I feel like I'm dying. She clearly gets uncomfortable when she's lying down. She clutches her ear, gets congested, holds her breath, then gasps and cries and wakes up. Or if she doesn't wake up, she whimpers and thrashes and wakes ME up. Last night we were up four times before midnight, at which point we were awake for a solid two hours, then she woke up eight or nine times again before morning. I'm in a state of barely controlled panic.
