a difficult week

This past week has been very difficult. I have been counting on this week to write my paper for the conference, and Ming Ming started having a fever last weekend. She vomitted several times on Sunday and Monday. Took her to the doctor's on Monday, again, ear infection (this is her 6th ear infection), fever, coughing, congestion. No day care on Monday and Tuesday because of her fever. But her sleep was horrible during the night, she would wake up and cry for hours without apparent reason. Back to the doctors on thursday, said that she was doing a lot better. On Friday night, when she started crying again, we put her down in her own crib and left the room. She cried for more than an hour, and finally fell asleep on her own. But it was like miracle, since then she has been falling asleep on her own without any problem. She would cry a little bit (less than 2 mins), but insist on saying goodbye, we would leave the room and she would fall asleep and stay asleep until the morning. Thanks to her sleep I finally got my paper done on Monday. phewww..
