Grandpa arrived safely on Tuesday evening and Ella has been on her best behavior, showing her grandpa all the things she's learned. We went shopping yesterday and braved some of the shops and even a mall for lunch - these last minute shoppers are crazy!
Ella has croup cough. She started on Wed. night with a bit of a cough and runny nose. During the day she is her great, energetic self; Grandpa's been taking her to the playground. Last night was what I'm hoping was the worst of it. Her "barking seal" cough was waking her up and at 10:30pm she was up for good, so exhausted but unable to sleep. I brought her to bed with me (Daddy was working) and cuddled her until 1:30am when she finally passed out for a little bit. Her cough is quite scary sounding, and must hurt her throat as every fit of coughing had her agitated and crying.
I was up most of the night with her and finally around 3am she was asleep until morning. All day she's been great and so far she's only had one coughing fit that really didn't wake her (and it's 1:30am). Apparently there's no medicine for it, and it should only last 2-5 days. Seeing as tonight is already better, maybe we're coming to the end of it. All I know is I'm sleeping in tomorrow as Daddy and Grandpa have a date with little miss Ella.
