she's sick. so sick. we ventured to the doctor today to find out that she has a double ear infection and bronchitis. poor baby. the normal karsyn, full of energy, smiling, laughing, throwing fits, and loving life wasn't here today. i missed her. we had to do a breathing treatment, blood work, and get a shot of antibiotics. doctor said he was really concerned that she was getting pnemonia because her white cell count was really high. it was a long, tearful appointment. he gave us 2 other antibiotic prescriptions to get as well and said to call him in the morning. (you don't hear that much anymore)
afterwards, she slept. for 3 long hours. she awoke only to have an even higher fever than before. that's when i gave her the other 2 antibiotics and a little snack of applesauce, which was the only thing she'd eat. she just laid there, limp, on my chest for hours.
wouldn't you know that the medicine kicked in, fever broke, and she's back to herself AT BEDTIME. figures. she's definitely feeling better already though. although i need rest now, so it'd be nice if she went to sleep again.
poor baby!
ReplyDeleteI love the snuggling when they are sick, but it is heartbreaking just to hear them whimper and want nothing to eat or drink....
