Well, our sweet baby began last week fighting off her third ear infection. Yuck! She had been waking up at 4am every morning for a week or so, but I just assumed it was a growth spurt. I was wrong! When John Michael went to pick Addie up from school last Tuesday, Mrs. Allison said that they were about to call us because she had a fever of 101.5! Yikes! That's the highest it's ever been (that we've known about, at least) so we knew we needed to get her in to see Dr. Hood...sure enough, it was her left ear. She's started a different antibiotic and seemed to get better.
Until Friday. Allison called me, and Addie had another 101.5 fever. I left work early to pick her up, and when I got her home, I noticed she had a rash on her tummy. Long story short, we went back to the doctor, and it turned out she had a virus that brought a sore throat, rash, and upset stomach. Poor Addie was just miserable last Sunday. We kept her home on Monday, and while I was feeding her, she was fussing a little bit. Thinking she might be teething, I peeked in her mouth and noticed she had thrush. Yikes! Luckily, we didn't have to go into the doctor and they just called in a prescription.
Whew. Luckily, Addie seems to be doing so much better now. She's back to her happy self and we are so glad. Who knew how hard it'd be to watch your little baby not feel well?! :)
We're trying to steer clear of tubes for her ears, but we're on notice that the next one she has, we have to have "the talk" with Dr. Hood. Boo...
Keep your fingers crossed that she won't get another one! :)
