Ear Infection!

Soooo....we decided to take Linnea to yet another urgent care Saturday afternoon. After sleeping in until 10am and waking up with a fever yet again we thought there is either something else going on or we need different antibiotic. After 3 days of being on an antibiotic we didn't think she should still be so miserable. And we were right. We are so glad we went in, this lil girl had a terrible ear infection! The pediatrician said there was so much puss and swollenness, had we waited it may have ruptured. It still may start leaking out :(

She was surprised Linnea still got this infection even being on an antibiotic. Anyways...important thing is as of last night at 7:00 and after just one dose of this new stronger antibiotic she is bopping her head and singing to Elmo and not being so lethargic. Still an icky cough and runny nose but I truly think she is now for sure on the way to recovery.

We made it through Sunday with again the help of Woody and the gang and Elmo and friends. She had a rough start to night...slept about 3 hours and woke up in severe pain joined by our friend the fever so in with us she came and we gave her more antbx. We had a slumber party until she woke up at 5:45am with another fever of 104.5 so we quickly gave her some Motrin and thankfully she got back to sleep and we all slept til 10am! She woke up super sweaty so we know the fever broke.

Like I said, she made it through the day with the help of the tv, meds, cuddling, a nap and lots of fluids...not much food but at least she is drinking. She still has fevers on and off and painful coughing fits so she will be home with me again tomorrow. She did perk up right before bed and tried to some playing and running back and forth but wore our very quickly.

Get well peanut!
