Brady’s fever finally broke this morning.\u00a0 She was at 98.4 soon after waking and right before bed.\u00a0 She seemed to be feeling much better today which was such a relief.\u00a0 I monitored her temp throughout the day and I only ended up giving her more Tylenol at bedtime because of her teeth and hoping it’d help her sleep better.\u00a0 She’s also back in her fleece footy pj’s and maybe that’s what caused her to get up early last night (being in too thin pjs)?\u00a0 She’s still not liking the amoxicillin any more.\u00a0 I have no idea what to do about this.\u00a0 Her dose is 6ml (a lot) and half of it ends up down her neck and on her clothes.\u00a0 I’ve tried reading and singing and honestly, she takes it best when she’s pissed off and crying.\u00a0 I’m open to suggestions here…<\/p>\n
I somehow ended up worrying unnecessarily that meningio toxemia or sepsis or something was going to come into play.\u00a0 Well even the nurse practitioner’s diagnosis of possible roseola didn’t end up panning out (thankfully).\u00a0 Brady still has some random freckling but I in no way would call it a rash.\u00a0 Even though the NP didn’t say I needed to schedule a follow up to look at her ears again after she was done with the antibiotics (she did last time, so I’m assuming this time she forgot after consulting with other mums), I went ahead and scheduled it today.\u00a0 I just want to be absolutely sure the ear infection is gone and there isn’t some random other illness at play.\u00a0 Casey and I have been toying with an idea about her ear infection(s).\u00a0 Is it possible that the dogs could have caused it?\u00a0 Ear infections are caused by a virus which usually makes a baby present other symptoms.\u00a0 In Brady’s case, we only knew because of the fever (we were chalking the fussiness up to her teeth – which the molars are making their way through the gums according to the NP).\u00a0 You might say that dog’s have cleaner mouths than humans.\u00a0 And you might say that our dog’s can’t even reach their bum to lick.\u00a0 Well, they can’t reach their own bum, they can reach each others.\u00a0 And Stoli has some pretty rotten gingivitis (she needs a cleaning) or something brewing and then Dude and his ears and who else knows what he makes friends with that’s on him too?\u00a0 Ugh!\u00a0 Let’s just put it this way, when they examined Dude’s tail last year to inspect the bite mark Stoli had left in it, they found ear bacteria…Just makes one wonder…\u00a0 So anyways, Brady’s doing better and I did a few random errands today.\u00a0 I still haven’t made it to the grocery store yet but she’s out of juice so maybe tomorrow’ll be the day.<\/p>\n
I’m sure most of you have heard about the plane crash in Austin too.\u00a0 This was not near us.\u00a0 Well, not near near.\u00a0 It’s near the Babies R’ Us we go to, but that’s like 15 miles away.\u00a0 The whole thing is just a mess and hopefully traffic has calmed down by now so Casey can take the route home that goes by the site, thus avoiding the deer going the alternate route (the one he takes to work).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
