Leave Her Alone!

Dearest ear infection,

You've managed to make baby girl O's life a living and breathing hell the last couple of days. Additionally, you've made my life just as miserable. You managed to disturb her so much on Monday night, that she didn't sleep. Ok, she slept, but she awoke every hour and some hours she was up the whole time. She wasn't calm. She was restless, screaming, crying. Because of this, you only let me have a few hours of sleep, in which I was awoken in the freak-like manner that I was when she was a newborn, having to quickly run to her side, lest she wake up her sister. I walked around like a zombie yesterday, thanks to you.

You gave her a fever. You made us give her suppositories. You made her the unhappy baby that she never is.

We are over it. We want you out of our lives. Specifically, out of B and O's lives. It doesn't matter that because they were born a little premature that that gives you more of right to come for a visit. You shouldn't play favorites like that.

Oh, and an additional thanks in advance for the next ten days, in which she will be receiving antiobiotics that she will more than likely throw up.

You are an unwanted guest in our house. When will you be welcome? When you inform us that you are coming so that we can avoid you alltogether.

Good riddance,
Olivia's Mom
