I Swear I'm not that Mom!

Vivian has been doing a round of antibiotics for her ear infections, but we've been a little worried about them.  She's still grabbing at her ears, and scratched one of them up until it bled.  I was already thinking about calling the doctor today when I woke up and found her running a temperature of 102.  I called.  They set up an appointment for late in the afternoon. 

All day today she's had a high temperature, been tired and sluggish, limited appetite, and insists on being held at all times.  I was sure that we were going to get to the doctor's office and they were going to tell me that she's developed some additional illness.  

Quite the opposite.  We get to the doctor's office, and she suddenly experienced some surge of good energy.  Her fever broke.  She chatted and laughed with the nurse who took her very normal temperature.  Justin met us there on his way home from work and she rushed to him and was sitting there in his lap all smiles when the doctor came in, checked her ears, looked her over and basically told me "nothing wrong with this kid."  

I felt like a crazy person.  We weren't home an hour when the fever returned, and she's back to spending the entire evening laying around on my lap with no appetite.  So at least my husband doesn't think I'm a head case that just likes to visit the doctor.  On the downside, I have no idea what to make of this, or what to do for her.  It's very weird.
