Well, we've got a sickie on our hands. She's actually been sick now for over a week. I took her to the doctor last Friday after she'd been having a fever for a few days, congestion in her nose and chest, and tugging at her ears. We found out she had an infection in her left ear, so she's been on amoxicillin since Friday, but has continued to have a fever and she's now tugging at her right ear, and her chest congestion has progressed into a rather nasty cough. After she woke up this morning with a fever of 102, I decide to take her in - a fever for a week is just too long, especially when she's on an antibiotic. So today we found out that she now has an infection in BOTH ears and a wheezing in her chest. They checked her for RSV, which is a respiratory infection, but that came back negative. So pretty much it's just a glorified cold. She'll now be on a stronger antibiotic for the next 10 days. Hopefully this will take care of it! Poor thing!
Here are just a few pictures from February...
Edit: I started this post yesterday. Today Jenna woke up and seems to maybe be on the "other" side of it. Her nose isn't as runny, she doesn't have much of a fever, and her cough seems to be getting better. Yay!
