A picture can say a million words or it can just say one big word "SICK". Yes, baby girl is really sick. I took her to the doctor after I picked up her brother from school Tuesday, for she had been pulling at her ears and coughing a lot. Then all of the sudden her eyes are glossy and a rash formed all around her eyes. I rushed her to the doctors office. The nurse weighed her and then listened to her heart. With out saying a word to me, the nurse has a serious face on her and walks out the door. I try to listen as I hear her knock on the door next to us, pull the doctor away from that patient he was with and they are whispering in the hallway. Before I could get closer to the door to try to hear anything, both of them came into the room, still not having said a word to me. Don't they know that this stuff drives any mama crazy? It makes you very worried. Its a strange feeling.
Then the doctor listens to her lungs and asked for her chart and said he will be right back. I look at the nurse and she then told me "I hear wheezing, but with her being so young and with the rash we want to make sure she isn't having some kind of reaction any kind." She said, "hang tight, we will be right back."
As we are sitting there the rash around her face is fading just as fast as it appeared. Strange! When the doctor finally came back in the rash was gone, and he said "I was hoping that to be the case. Sometimes babies can rub so much they irritate the skin and cause a rash to form and this seems to be the case with her." Then he continued "but she does have an ear infection forming and wheezing in her lungs, so we are going to put her on two antibiotics, one for her ear and one for the cough and wheezing. She needs to come back in 10-days unless she seems to get worse, if she isn't getting better then we will talk about the breathing machines." I know the name of it, but can't seem to spell so Ill just call it the 'breathing machine'. Hunter had one when he was younger.
Taken with phone camera at doctors office!
Well, today is Thursday (as if you didn't already know). Baby girl puked all over herself today. I mean really vomited. She hasn't wanted to eat much because she can't breath and I have been doing my best to keep the nose clean by sucking out as often as I can. As you can see in the picture I use a snot sucking gadget, and it really does work. I know that is a really gross picture, but sometimes seeing is believing in case you wanted to get yourself a snot sucking gadget too. And besides, at least I didn't take a picture of the vomit. Oh speaking of.....
Taken with phone camera, yummy!
Yea, so she hasn't wanted to eat much because she can't breath. While I tried (again) to feed her some apples and bananas, she started gagging on it and out of no where vomit projected out all over the place. WOW!!
Needless to say, mommy has a fussy and sick little one on my hands. I think she is being a trooper considering. I sort of feel like I am getting a bit of cold now myself, for my nose is stopped up and my throat is a bit itchy. O'man!
Its going around I see though, for it seems as all the blogs I check out everyone is talking about being sick. Ugh!
