Diana had a terrible cold last week and after a high fever, some ear tugging, not sleeping, and inconsolable crying I gave in and took her to the doctor. It was quite a production with Davis tagging along but we made it to the doctor and found out poor little Dia had an ear infection. Our pediatrician said "oh, no we are going to have to give the first antibiotic to the Sheppard family". Davis (knock on wood) has yet to take an antibiotic and Diana almost made it to her first birthday without one. I attribute this to good old fashioned "good luck" and actually letting the kids be exposed to germs...that has seemed to work for us. After seeing a friend of ours have a daughter get a heart transplant this past summer I don't take stuff like this for granted anymore. Anyway, Diana was posing with her amoxicillin when she got home and Davis was being very protective. He told the pediatrician " I love Dia, Dia medicine". He is a great big brother! I know this all sounds so exciting, right? : -)
