Poor Ava :(

Ava has not been herself for almost a week now--not sleeping at all, fussing most of the day, not wanting to eat her bottle. I finally took her into the Dr. this morning, thinking maybe it was an ear infection. The good news is that it's not, her ears look great. The bad news is that she has coxsackie, a viral infection (you might know it as hand, foot and mouth disease) that causes blisters all over the throat and sometimes hands and feet. Luckily, Ava only has the blisters in her throat, but that is what is causing her not to eat. I feel terrible--she's been in pain now for several days and I had no idea. :(

Anyway, since it's a virus we just have to wait it out and let it take its course. Hopefully she'll be feeling much better in the next day or two.
