Sick

Jak came home sick from daycare yesterday. I got a call around 2:30 to say she had a temperature of 100.3 and was just laying with her teacher, Miss Becky, and playing with her hair. Much to my dismay, my baby is not a cuddle bug, so I know that whenever she sits still for 5 minutes (and isn't asleep) something is wrong.

Fast forward 3 hours to the doctor's office. Apparently she has a virus (duh) that was causing her watery eyes, cough, sneezing, and runny nose. Her fever, however, was caused by an ear infection....the same ear infection she was diagnosed with on August 3. Apparently it never went away, so they put her on new antibiotics and she's due back in 2 weeks to see how she is doing. She took her first dose last night, along with some infant's Motrin, and she perked right up! Her fever went down and she seemed like all was well, but when Meredith gave her more medicine at 4am this morning, her fever was back.

I stayed home with her today and her fever has come and gone. We took a 3 hour nap earlier today, which gave her some energy. Her poor nose just runs and runs and runs, but she is still so happy...even though it's hard to eat her bottle or take a pacifier since she has to breathe through her mouth! She's smiling and laughing and wants to play. I love this little girl.

Waiting for the doctor...notice the watery eye. 


She fell asleep before we even pulled out of the doctor's office parking lot. 


I love that medicine! Sick baby? What sick baby?

P.S. Jak would like to say HAPPY 41st BIRTHDAY to her Uncle Jamie. She loves him bunches and bunches (even if she looks angry in the picture below).
