Last Monday night Paisley woke up crying. She laid down with us and sleep was on again off again. She was congested and felt feverish.
Tuesday she acted in better sprits as the day went on so I thought it was a one time deal. After nap, she was feverish again. That evening Jordan mentioned the doctor- which I had contemplated- so my decision was made.
Wednesday we saw the nurse practitioner and P had an ear infection. Mac had his throat swabbed, but everything came back negative.
Some improvement Thursday until P woke up from nap. She had a 103.5 temp.
Friday morning we went back to the pediatrician. I waited around an hour so we could see our regular doctor.
She looked and listened to both kids, and P was diagnosed with bronchitis and a bulging ear drum. Since she's allergic to penicillin and cephalosporins, we are limited on what she can take. We were on Primsol but switched to a stronger med- Biaxin.
Mac was swabbed again and has strep :-/ because Mac has a sensitive stomach, it's better for him to have a shot rather than 10 days of an antibiotic. And let's face it, it's easier to have less syringes lined up at night.
So here we are- breathing treatments for P every few hours, little sleep at night and fussy during the day.
We were suppose to visit the Nashville Allens this weekend, but we couldn't take the tots. I stayed home, and Jordan took Lilly Scott. My mom- a saving grace- came to spend the weekend and help me. Bless her. She's so good to us.
Poor babies. Poor us.
You can see the regression in the pics as the week went along.
As always,
Ashley
