Nobody knows... the trouble I've seen...

We've had a rough week here chez Johnson. Lexi started running a fever early last week, which meant precious little sleep and one overtired clingy little girl. By Thursday Nurse Oma decided since she was still running a temperature, Lexi should take her first visit to the emergency room. One thing I will say is that it pays to have connections - toting one of the ER nurses' granddaughters through the door certainly gets you quicker treatment (that being said, it did seem to be a slow day). We spent 3 hours in the pediatric room, 30 minutes of which Lexi had to suffer the indignity of having a U bag strapped to her "who ha", but we did discover she did not have any kidney/urinary track problems, and the doctor told us she probably had a virus. I was skeptical as she had no other symptoms besides the fever and the trouble sleeping. While playing on the floor with her on Friday, I discovered the source of our problems - 2 more new teeth poking through! We know from past experience in this house that teething = trouble for all parties, as sleep seems to go out the window. We had been spoiled last week as she had slept through the night 3 times (which she hasn't done since she was about 3 months old!!) so now that the teeth have made their appearance, we're hoping to get back on track and get some rest again.
