all better

Abby is feeling MUCH better after taking antibiotics. She's actually driving us pretty crazy. Last night was the first time in a week that she was fever-free, so getting her to slow down and go to bed was nearly impossible (we felt bad for her since she had slept all day and had been so sick for so long!). At 12:30 a.m. Matthew heard her call out: "I need help." The monkey was upside-down, hands on the ground and feet hanging on to our bed frame. We told her she could read a book until she got tired. Finally around 1:30 a.m. when we finished the laundry, we peeked in her room to find her asleep on the floor-- no blanket, surrounded by books, light on-- she must have just run out of steam and fallen asleep while reading. Tonight she has been a handful for Matthew and I. It is like someone gave her an espresso and let her loose. We're glad she's getting better, but she is bored and we are wiped out. Phew.
