Double Ear Infection (8 months 1 day old)

Her temperature was 102.4 so I had to strip her down with a fan on until her temperature dropped.

These last two pictures are from this morning. Her temperature is back to normal finally.

Aryssa was not feeling well that had started on Sunday. I figured she was just teething she was fussy and just plain uncomfortable. Monday we went to her feeding therapy session and she was very much like a "zombie" the whole time. When we got home she just was exhausted. By Tuesday evening she just wanted to be held and she stayed up until almost 3 am. Wednesday morning she was absolutely miserable and throwing up. Every time we would lay her down she would scream until almost turning purple. I called the doctors office and just figured it was just her teething and they told me to bring her in. Good thing too, she has a double ear infection and some sort of virus that is going around. They pricked her toe to check her blood counts. Her blood work came back perfect. Dr. Seawell gave her an antibiotic shot to get it jump started in case she was unable to keep her first dose down. Her temperature was going up down between 100.1 and 102.4. The doctor said to give her Tylenol whenever it goes over 100.4 every 4 hours. She had me carry her around for 3 days. She will only sleep if I am holding her or if she is in my bed snuggled up to me. She definitely is a Momma's girl when she is sick.

Her temperature finally went back to normal and maintaining it by Saturday morning. YAY! She is still however throwing up more now. She is finally starting to look little more comfortable (except when she is throwing up). She actually flashed a few smile this morning. She doesn't have any energy still but at least she isn't crying constantly.

Its funny how we bought the top of the line latest and greatest swing before she was born and she REFUSES to like it. Since she has been sick that is the only thing I could put her down in while I gave my arms a break. She will just fall right asleep, not for long but long enough. Hopefully she gets back to 100% real soon. I hate watching her like this. I just want to make it all better and can't. I just love on her as much as she needs it. Attached are pictures of her sleeping in her swing. She is so darn cute, even when she is sick.
