Okay so Izzy has now been on antibiotics since Sat morning, her fever is finally gone today but we are still having sleep problems. I know when she was really sick over the weekend it wasn't her fault she didnt' feel good and woudl only sleep if you were holding her for the most part, probably because it hurt her ear to lay down. So she was up A LOT Friday and Sat and Sunday night 2-3-4 times.
Well last night she was up twice again, only when you went up to her room and sat in teh rocking chair with her, she would lay her head down but then pick it up look at me and smile and want to play. The first time she got up around midnight DH and I tried everything, rocking her, putting her in bed with us but all she did was want to play..........so I figure she couldn't feel that bad if she wanted to play. Well finally after an hour of this we finally decided to let her CIO because we didn't knwo what else to do.............she didnt' have a fever, and wanted to play and DH and I are just totally exhausted after dealing with this since Friday night. So after I don't know how long, probably not more than 15 mins the crying stopped. Until it started again about 4:40 am. I went up tried to give her a bottle which she drank but then did not want to go back to sleep, she wanted to play..........again being exhausted I let her CIO again only this time it was 10 min max of crying. She then slept till 8am this morning but was crabby most of the morning because she was still tired.
I called the Dr office and they said they think the ear is getting better since the fever is gone but if she has another bad night or fever comes back they would want to see her.
Well here I am it is 10:45pm I went to Izzy's room because she was up crying, I made sure she had her binky and blanket, wasn't burning up from fever, settled her down then put her back in teh crib, I didn't talk to her. As soon as I put her down she starts screaming. So now here I am blogging about it because I dont' know what else to do . DH and I are exhausted.
She was such a good sleeper, what happened? I feel silly for taking her to the dr because she is waking up so much at night but up until last week she slept through the night most nights, although the last couple weeks we probably had 3 nights where she would wake up but it was pretty easy to get her back down....nothing like the last few nights. I don't know what else to do. Is it because she doesnt' feel good or is she just wanting the attention she had when she was really sick.
I just wish she could talk and tell me what the problem is!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

That is so frustrating, I'm sure. I know Izzy's been a good sleeper and once you get used to sleeping through the night, who in the world wants to go back? Lily has started getting up in the night now because she rolls over onto her stomach. Could that be it for Izzy? I sure do hope you guys get some rest SOON! :)
I feel for you - SP was never a good sleeper until we finally just let her CIO a couple months ago. Fast forward to last week and she was sick and we are now dealing with the same thing as you.
All I know is the only thing that seems to work consistently for us is CIO. It's so hard to do but like you, nothing else has worked. It only lasted a few days though and she was back to sleeping.
Good luck & hopefully you get some sleep soon.
