Not A Fan Of Being Sick!

Last Wednesday I got home from an awesome day of hanging out with Kai and Sebastian to find out that my little girl was not being cranky just for fun but rather she had a fever! My little girl has never gotten sick before. Sure she's had the occasional flair of the fever when her teeth were bothering her, but nothing worth seeing the doctor over. The thing is this time we just couldn't get her fever to break!

We tried running a warm bath, we let her play in it and slowly added cool water until she was playing in a cold tub. The temp dropped from 101.4 to 100.6 nothing exciting enough for us. I ran to the store and got her some baby meds to try and tame the fever and yet it simply helped her to sleep through the discomfort.

Thankfully my doctor's office is amazing and at ten the next morning I was rocking her in my arms and waiting for the doctor to come in and see her. As a testament to how unwell she was feeling she fell asleep in my arms as we were waiting. She had an inner ear infection!

I can't handle watching my daughter in pain and here she was with something that I couldn't instantaneously make better. I got the medicine and a new toy for her and we went home. The next 48 hours were spent rocking her to sleep and bathing her to cool her down and simply doing anything we could to make her feel better. When Richie would get home he would take over rocking her and soothing her just so that I could take a quick break.

Thankfully the fever broke as the medicine the doctor prescribed worked and she has slowly gotten back into her playful self. It is a hard thing to watch someone you love in pain and its doubly hard when they can't tell you what's wrong. I am glad to say that she is happily asleep now and looking forward to all the excitement that tomorrow holds!!
