A penny for your thoughts.... or maybe a dime!

Oh my heck!! This story is so sad, but all is well. So here it goes...

Haley started to get really whiny and wouldn't eat anything yesterday afternoon. I thought she must be getting more teeth or something. Then later I decided she must have a very sore throat because she would just scream when she tried to drink her bottle. Her binki wouldn't even calm her down. I gave her some ibuprofen (which drooled mostly out of her mouth and now I know why) and put her to bed. She woke up an hour later crying so I rocked her and she fell back asleep. (She hates to snuggle so when she let me rock her I was in HEAVEN!) She slept until 5:30ish this morning, but woke up with the same sad cries. I made her a bottle and she drank it, but was very cranky and never really went back to sleep. When I was finally getting her dressed for the day I had her lay down on her bedroom floor to change her and as she was protesting (with her lungs) I caught a glimps of something on the roof of her mouth. WHAT?!! A freakin' 1995 dime was stuck to the roof of her mouth since yesterday afternoon! I about had a heart attack. All the "what if's" went through my head and I felt so horribly bad (and still do) for not noticing it earlier. The poor girl couldn't suck on anything and of course wouldn't want to eat anything because there's already something in there getting in the way! I realize now why she was shoving her all her banana slices in her mouth yesterday. She never does that. I think she was frustrated at how her mouth wasn't working right so if she shoved them all in that might solve all her problems. It didn't and she spit them all out, but now she's happy as a clam eating bananas (and actually swallowing them)-- On second thought, I guess that makes her happy as a monkey!!
