help us make it to next Friday

That's when DD is getting her ear tubes.  She is a miserable mess - again.  We have tried every antibiotic known to man that she isn't allergic to.  She was doing better when we were at the ENT yesterday, but she is miserable today, barely slept last night, won't nap for more than 20 minutes at a time, screams when i change her diaper etc etc.  And I can't give her motrin until two weeks post surgery.  Tylenol barely helps.

I just want her to feel better.  I want her not to be miserable for her birthday this weekend.  I want her to sleep.  (That may sound selfish, but I'm dangerously close to a nervous breakdown from lack of sleep.)  Mostly I just want her to feel better.  My poor baby.

Any recommendations or home remedies welcome.  Or even just some hugs and supportive words would be great.  Thanks.

Just wanted to offer you hugs. I'm so sorry she's having such a rough time...and that you are too! Lack of sleep is horrible. Not that I've tried it, but my aunt told me to put olive oil in DDs ears; she said that's what she did when my cousin was little. Again, I have no clue, she's the queen of home remedies. My MIL told me to get some kind of OTC ear drops for DD (who has had constant infections since September) but I can't remember what it is...I'll try to remember to ask her tonight when she calls. But whatever it is, she said I could find it at the local pharmacy. GL!
