We had a pretty good Labor Day weekend except for the fact that we had a little sick baby. Saturday evening I could start to tell that something was wrong, but I didn't think it was anything major I just figured she was teething. Then Sunday afternoon her head felt warmer than normal so I took her temperature and sure enough she had a fever of 103.2. I immediately called Dallas and told him to get home so we could take her in. He got home and we took her to the instacare. I was almost certain they were just going to tell me was teething, but when the doctor came in she told me that it was more than likely an ear infection. She looked in her ears and sure enough she had a double ear infection. The doctor gave us prescription for an antibiotic and sent us to the hospital to do some blood work and a nasal flush to make sure she didn't have a virus that was going around. My poor little baby went through so much crap and I felt so bad!! We got home around 9 pm and finally got her to sleep around 10. It was about 11:30 when I got a call from the doctor's office telling us to come back in. We woke Avrey up and headed back. When we go in with the doctor he told us that her blood work came back abnormal with a high white blood cell count and she needed to get a shot so it would work faster. So my poor baby had to get poked again and get the shot. We followed up with Dr. Sigg in the morning and that shot seemed to really help...which I'm glad. He told us that the shot should take care of it and there was no need to give her anymore antibiotics. He did say that she would start acting uninterested in eating and she sure has.
This little sickness of her's has definitely taken a toll on all of us and I can't help, but feel bad for her. It's like pulling teeth to get her to eat and sleep. I have started to notice that slowly, but surely she is getting better though...so that's a good sign!!!
