Poor Cora!


Well, unfortunately Cora took home from England more than great memories and awesome presents - she has a double ear infection and the flu.
Our plane ride home on Monday was our easiest one yet with Cora, because she slept almost the entire trip. We were blessed that the British Airways staff moved people around so that we had a row to ourselves, and Cora either lay on the seat between Stace and me, or sat on my lap and leaned into me, for the entire 11 hours. She then slept all night through once we got back home - amazing since jet lag usually means she wakes up at 3 on our first night back.
The doctor on Tuesday gave her a shot of antibiotics for the ear infection, and instructed us to give her medicine to keep her fever down and relieve the aches and pains she probably is feeling.
It's a difficult thing for Stace and I to see her like this. We've been so blessed with such a healthy little girl - up to now, she's had just one bad cold, thank the Lord.
At the moment, she is sitting in her high chair and eating a snack, so that is a big relief. She hasn't eaten much since Saturday.
