On Saturday night our little miss started to get cranky and was acting like she wasn't feeling to hot. By Sunday morning it was very clear that she was in fact sick. All day she was super clingy and very sleepy. At most she was only awake for 20 minutes at a time, when she was awake she was whiny. All day she kept bouncing a fever, and didn't eat well so we had a pretty rough night.
I called the pedi office first thing this morning and they were able to get us in right away. Brian had a busy schedule so luckily and thankfully his secretary came to our rescue and watched the boys at the office so I could take emily to the doctor.
When we got there the receptionist could tell that she wasn't feeling well so she got us into a room right away so we didn't have to hang around in the lobby which was nice because it was busy and they were doing some remodeling.
While we were in there they gave her another nebulizer treatment and tried to get some fluids into her because she was a tad bit dehydrated. Almost two hours after we walked in, we were on our way home with the verdict of double ear infection, and pneumonia (again). In addition her throat was looking pretty red so he did a strep culture ~ still waiting on the news from that one.
So she is on yet another antibiotic, the nebulizer every 4-6 hrs as needed for her breathing, alternating tylenol and motrin and we are supposed to try and push fluids in her. That is no easy task as she refuses to touch a bottle and isn't fully coordinated with a sippy cup yet but mommy got some yummy pear juice so hopefully that will do the trick. Then back to the pedi on friday for a recheck of her breathing.
Thankfully all 3 kiddos have crashed for a nap so that is where I am heading as well. Its been a rough few days.
