My Baby Girl Is Sick Again
Yes, Morgan is sick again : ( This time it is really bad. I knew that she had been pretty cranky over the last several days but she hadn't complained about feeling bad until yesterday. It all started with a runny nose and a cough. Then she was up all night crying, coughing, and running a low fever. So I took her to the doctor only to find out she has a double ear infection, sinus infection, and a virus. She was put on antibiotics for her ears and sinus' but the virus is now causing her to throw up pretty much everything she swallows : ( Poor thing can't even keep a cracker down. Luckily, she is able to keep down small amounts of pedialyte and I have been monitoring her closely for dehydration. So it looks like I will be back at the pediatrician tomorrow and hopefully he can give us an anti-nausea medicine. I have also learned just how stressful it can be to have a sick child and a well child and trying to keep the sick one from spreading germs to the healthy one. I am a germophobe anyways and this has me in full blown panic mode. I can't wait for the virus to pass and for Morgan's ears and sinus' to clear up so life can go back to normal.
