Adah got her first real fever yesterday! We knew she wasn't feeling well since this past Thursday...she had been occasionally pulling at her right ear...but we didn't want to rush into assuming anything...boy were we wrong. Friday night Adah may have gotten a total of 2 hours of sleep...the poor thing screamed all night but her tempature(rectal) never went over 99 (which is not a fever in a child this age). Saturday she started to get a REALLY stuffy nose and then Saturday night she wouldn't sleep again and would wake up and randomly grab her ear screaming. She acted fine during the day but still had a runny nose but then Sunday night her temp went up to 102 so we decided that we would call the doc and try and get in first thing this morning! When she woke up this morning she had a fever of 102.3 and luckily we were able to get into the doc today at 12:50! Sure enough our poor little sweet potatah has ANOTHER ear infection! Luckily it is only in one ear this time...but she just got over one less than a month ago! We are very pleased with the doctors here and the fact that they seem to actually care which you don't really hear about with military doctors...although we have been more pleased with our military pediatricians than the civilian ones we had at the beginning! The doctor today put Adah on a stronger medicine (augmentin) than the amoxicilian that she was on for the other two. She also wants to check Adah again in 2 weeks and if she still has an ear infection then she wants to send her to an ENT. We are hoping that it gets better and she doesn't have to go to an ENT! Today, Adah has been super attached to mommy and daddy and when we took her temp before bed tonight it had gone up to 104.2!!! We attempted to put her in a cool bath but that didn't last long....when we got her out and wrapped up and got her dressed she started to get chills! My poor sweet little thing! I so wish that there was something I could do to make it all go away! I hate to know that she is feeling so bad and that there isn't much I can do to help her! I wish I could just crawl in her crib with her and snuggle all night!
Here is our little sick potatah passed out while we wait for medicine!
