It never fails... if we travel... Clara will get sick... Well, twice now...
Last night about 12:30 Clara started getting very fussy and would not sleep. When I felt her she was burning up. I randomly had a thermometer in the room at my parents house and when I took her tempurature it was 104.7. So I got up and ran to my parents room and told them I was taking Clara to the ER! Of course the both jump out of bed like crazy people! My mom and I got to the ER about 5 minutes later and her fever was still spiked... 104.8 by then! We sat sat and sat some until we finally saw a doctor at 4 in the morning! All that for an ear infection. It being her first I did not know what symptoms to look for and she had not been pulling at her ear or anything either. So we left at about 4:45 with a prescription for an antibiotic and instructions to give motrin and tylenol every 3 to 4 hours to keep her tempurature down. I know ear infections are awful and I hope this is the only one she ever gets!
She is pretty congested and still a little fussy! Did I mention she is totally out of whack of ANY type of schedule... as am I! I guess thats what vacations should be about though... forgetting about schedules and rules! Her fever has not been over 101.0 since we got home from the hospital... so lets hope it goes away completely so we can have some fun in the sun while we are here!
Props to my mom who was up with us from 12:30a.m. to 5:30a.m. and still managed to work all day... how she did it I do not know... maybe a little Granny magic!
