good news, bad news...

Good news is Ella is trying to get a tooth in! her bottom gum has her first little "bump".
Bad news is Ella cant have Tylenol and isnt old enough for motrin yet. At the hospital they said it was okay to give her motrin sparingly, but she has to take so much of it and does not like the flavor.. so needless to say, its a chore.. we've been doing orajel and motrin when absolutely possible..
Our dr's appt this week is Thursday, I think I will ask if there are any other alternatives to help her out some.. my SIL suggested Pure Vanilla extract? any one heard of this? any other suggestions?
other news is it is soooo cold outside and the whole fam is home today.. I cant decide if that is good or bad :) lol...

YAY for teeth!! I'm sorry she's having a hard time with them tho... that parts no fun :0( Have you tried those teething tabs? They're homeopathic(sp?) so I don't know if she can have them or not, but they worked wonders with X-man!! See you this weekend, love you guys!!

Jenny,
We are praying for you, Jay, and especially Ella. Our small group is also praying for you guys. Sending you long distant hugs....

There's those "toys" you can put in the freezer and let Ella chew on to help w/ the pain.

Love,
Amanda Smith

I've heard from a lot of ole timers that Vanilla Extract works. The only thing is that it usually has a tiny bit of alchohol in it, or at least it use to, back in the day...Love you, MIL aka Nancy

ahhh, yes Hylands Teething Tablets! They're all natural (homeopathic). :-) They work wonders.
