Defeated

I am feeling very defeated this morning. Last night as we were getting the girls ready for bed Elly was shivering. We figured it was from her just getting out of the bathtub and still having wet hair. But when we checked she was very hot. We got the thermometer out and yup 102 temp. Tylenol is our best friend right now along with the Cipro that she is taking. This morning she is holding her back, complaining of belly hurting and fever, which indicates that her UTI is back and the Cipro is not working. So do I stop the Cipro or finish it off like Dr. Radamacher said. Obviously there is nothing we can do today but tomorrow Harry or I will be making a trip into the clinic for another urinalysis and change in meds. I feel defeated as it seems like we just think we are getting ahead of it and then Wham! we are back to square one.

Harry was up in the night with Elly as she didn't sleep well and she cried periodically through the night. I on the other hand was sleeping peacefully...and then I woke up from my dreams. No really I was in our bedroom with Lorelai who is teething yet again and she was inconsolable. And yet my kids were up at 6 AM ready for the day to start. How do they do that? Barely sleep through the night and yet still have energy so early in the morning.
