As luck would have it, BOTH girls have been sick this past week. Lily was actually much better this week and her "sickness" was mainly last week. She started with a nasty cough. She didn't have a fever, but she was up all night long coughing and she couldn't sleep. I went in her room to check on her and she was just sitting in the dark, wide awake, in her chair. She didn't call out for us or anything. Poor baby. I kept her home from daycare that next day, but then I sent her the next day. She was still coughing and she even said to me, "Mommy, I'm sick. I need to go to Dr. Russell's." I should have listened to her. By the next evening she had a 102 temp. Bad mom...I know. I never did take her in because I'm sure it was something viral and nothing to do about it. Avery started in with the cough on Saturday. She had icky drainage from her nose and a rattling nasty sounding cough. She wasn't running a temp, she was eating, peeing, and pooping fine and she was still her smiling happy little self. I knew she had to have picked something up from her big sister who can't ever stay out of her face. On Tuesday, her cough continued and she was running a very low grade temp...no higher than 99ish. I waited it out. I got home from work on Wednesday morning and the poor little thing was so miserable. She was extra whiny and making a funny sound as if "something" was hurting her. I called the pediatrician's office and we got her in right away. Turns out she has an ear infection. Once again...bad mommy for not taking her in sooner. She is now on Amoxicillin twice a day for ten days, but already feeling much better! I hate it when my kiddos are not feeling well! And just for the record...Avery weighed 14 pounds 5 ounces at this visit (with jammies on)...still my little peanut.
