Ella's last day of antibiotics was last Sunday...by Wednesday she had all the same symptoms again...? It started out mild...but began to get worse...I thought maybe allergies? The pollen is pretty bad down here...but then I thought...hmmm I wonder if that antibiotic didn't work very well since it messed with her tummy so bad. Saturday she began coughing and was starting to run a low grade fever...so I thought well I might as well call the Doctor...so I spoke to a nurse and explained everything and she suggested that we bring her in to be re-evaluated. We saw the on-call Doctor...and oh they weighed her...she gained 1/2 a pound since she was last there 2 weeks ago...I was happy about that part...so the on-call Doctor checked her out....lungs were still good and clear...but sure enough...has an ear infection. So he wrote a prescription....for a different antibiotic. Yay! :) So far so good on this one! No upset tummy! However...Saturday night she was up until 2am with really bad coughing fits...horrible coughing...I thought on Sunday morning we might have to bring her to the Doctor for a breathing treatment...but by morning she really wasn't wheezing anymore...it was just a nasty cough. So I had a good 4 hours of sleep :) I had to get ready to go to church as I was serving in the nursery this morning...so Josh stayed home with the sick baby girl..she did take a little nap with him in the morning...and she went down for an afternoon nap around 2:30...and Josh had to wake her up at 5...she was in a deep sleep! I too had a good afternoon nap :)
Last night we went to a graduation party for one of our friends who just completed his Masters Degree...his parents held a little cook-out for him. It took Ella a little bit to warm up...but by the end she was giving out hugs and high-fives!
Yesterday morning - we took the puppies to the "puppy doctor" as Ella calls it..for their pedicures...and on the way there...I spotted a turtle in the road...I however didn't expect Josh to stop and pick it up to bring home....
We only kept him for a little while....we named him "Walker"...and then we set him free! :) Ella kept saying, "scared - I'm scared Daddy"...he was coaxing her to touch his shell...it took quite a while but she did finally touch his shell!
Ella got a little present in the mail...
Her Nanny and Grampy sent her some dinosaurs! They went to the creation museum and got a little present for Ella...she calls them "saurs" ....she can't say the dino part....and she does know that they "roar" :)
Well time to finish laundry...it's been a busy weekend....trying to get it all done before the week starts again!
