Turning a Corner

Well, Cora was pretty much back to her normal self yesterday! I guess the other ear infection didn't develop. She's slept through the night and resumed her naps, which is so great. She isn't protesting the breathing treatments anymore, as long as Curious George is on, so I can do them with her by myself, and it's a lot less stressful for her and me than putting her in my human straight jacket.

While I was taking these pictures of her, she would jump on the bed and run around and stand up and sit down, saying, "Ashes Ashes up down up down pictures happy face happy face pictures up down". She really has been liking "Ring Around the Rosy" lately and says up and down all day long when she's getting on and off her stool, kitchen chairs, the couch, bed, you name it! She's pretty active!

I had a pretty miserable day yesterday, but woke up feeling a little bit better today. I think it will take a few more days, but I'm sleeping better, and knowing that the sickness isn't going to last forever (that's what it felt like!) makes the situation much more hopeful and positive. It's nice to feel a little bit better, and I can do a lot more with Cora now that she's feeling well, instead of just having her run around me in bed or on the couch.

Cora is supposed to still be infectious until Sunday, so I think we'll wait until the middle or the end of next week to go out much, just to make sure. Other than that things are going well.
