Sick Baby Girl

Elena has been sick...a couple of weeks ago she had a runny nose that got nasty so we decided to take her to the doc just to make sure she was ok. She was her normal self just happy and content as alway but we just wanted to be sure. She ended up having inflammation in her ears, one worse than the other, so the doc prescribed some antibiotics, I was glad that we had taken her in.

As she was finishing her meds she developed a cough and we just figured it was all part of the junk she had. Then on Wednesday night she felt hot to me, we took her temperature and it was normal she did wake up and was acting a little weird but she just fell asleep again, then suddenly I woke at around 4:00 am and I went to check on her and she felt really hot this time. I took her temperature and it was about 100 or 101, at this point Todd was awake too and he got some Tylenol for her and some water, a little later she fell asleep again. I was so glad that I woke up!

That same morning I decided that I would stay home with her, she was fine throughout the day but then in the evening we decided to take her to the doc she still had some inflammation in her ears but the doc didn't know if it was going down or coming back since she was recently on antibiotics. He thought maybe she had a nasal infection so we had to get more meds for her. She did get another fever that night so again with the fever reducer stuff (it is a good thing the medications taste good). So the next day I stayed home with her again since the sitter isn't allowed to take a child with any sort of infection without being on antibiotics for at least 24 hours, either way I would have had to take her back home because she got a fever again. Poor baby....at this point she wasn't her usual smiley and happy self. She had fevers almost the whole day!

By Saturday she had stopped having fevers but she was in a terrible mood....she was getting so whiny so we didn't know if something was hurting or what but she has never really acted like that before. She was kind of acting the same way on Sunday, she also had trouble sleeping I guess it was all apart of the sickiness. Today she did a lot better, she sort of had trouble getting up this morning, she was just so tired...but she was back to her usual self again!!
