You started feeling bad earlier in the week but were not running a fever so I didn't take you to the doctor. One afternoon I was changing your diaper and felt you and you were hot, so I took your temp and it was 101. Of course, I flipped out. I can deal with a lot, but I DO NOT like fevers.We were on our way to run some errands at the beach but decided since we were leaving tomorrow to go out of town, we better take you to the doctor just in case. And especially since we had just been to the doctor the week before, I didn't want to take any chances. They pricked your poor little finger, which you screamed, and said that you just had something viral. Dr. gave me a perscription to take with us just in case you weren't better and he told us to rotate ibuprofen and tylenol to help your fever. He said to give it until the day after Christmas and if you weren't cleared up to start the antibiotic. By this evening you were more stuffy than earlier. We have suctioned your nose so much, which you hate! You are just pitiful.
You continued with a runny nose for a few days. You had a slight cough, but nothing to worry about. You weren't better by the day after Christmas so we started the antibiotic. This seemed to help, although it made you really sleepy!
You were better by the end of the week! The zithromax really helped clear you up! And thank goodness because you are normally such a good, content baby, but this week, you were not! I'd take being sick any day over you!
