2 teeth coming in
2 ear infections
1 sore throat (still too soon for the culture to come back)
3 medications ~ one antibiotic, two fever reducers
24 hours ~ the point when I was expecting things to be looking up
36 hours in two hour increments ~ how long it really took before we started seeing any improvement at all. It was a faint smile at Madelyn and slightly more effort at nursing

1 more video ~ this one showing the point at which we were finally allowed to disembark the roller coaster from hell.
