Josh went to Virginia Beach last Monday - Wednesday. Came home Wednesday afternoon and then was was involved in a "man-hunt" and worked on that until 11:30 that night. Worked Thursday and Friday...he had qualifications for work...so didn't get home until Midnight Friday night....so needless to say Ella and I didn't see much of him last week...while he was busy working...Ella and I were both busy coming down with "something"....Ella's started on Sunday...coughing, runny nose, etc...I chalked it up to allergies..maybe a cold....Mine started Monday...the only thing I ever had was a sore throat...but by Wednesday I no longer had a voice...By Friday morning...still no voice...and I just knew that I had a sinus infection...so while getting ready for work...I was trying to decide if I should go in late to work...and go straight to the Dr...or go on my lunch break...so while I am thinking this through...Ella wakes up...I get her up...and she's got a fever....so guess I'm not going anywhere! I stayed home with her...and by the afternoon her cough was getting really bad...still had a fever...so I scheduled her an appointment with her Doctor...after a really long wait...which we actually left at one point..and went back...Ella was seen....and had a sinus infection, start of an ear infection and still a fever....The Doctor was surprised her lungs were clear with all the coughing she was doing...but they were! So started her on an antibiotic...I let her pick out a new coloring book at the store while we waited for her prescription to be filled...she LOVES to color...I buy the books with the markers that only color on the paper...she loves it! Finally home at 7pm....dinner, a little bit of coloring and bedtime (for us both!)
Saturday - I get up with intentions of going straight to the Doctor...I was able to be there by 8:45am...and had my diagnosis by 10am....Sinus Infection....of course! So off to the store I went to fill my antibiotic and get a few groceries for the week.
I'm tired of Doctor's offices! :) And co-pays, and getting prescriptions filled!
So I wish I could say Ella is better...I'll spare you details....but the poor thing...the antibiotic has done a number on her stomach...not a good reaction to it! I called the Doctor today and she said to give her yogurt (was already doing that) make sure she takes the antibiotic with food (was already doing that), and take some probiotics...so we stopped on the way home so I could get some probiotics....I mixed some in with her yogurt tonight...so I'm hoping that will help her! She thankfully has been in good spirits and hasn't been too bad mood wise.
Josh has been gone again this week....it's been a long week...I've been giving Ella a bath every night as she needs one...so by the time we get home, eat dinner, do a bath, then bedtime...Ella's been getting to bed between 7:30-7:45...then I've been cleaning, laundry, etc....then boom it's time for me to go to bed! :)
I've got some more photos/videos I need to upload...but I'll leave you with a cute one...Ella could play with her baby dolls allllll day!
She's really starting to put a few words together now to make mini sentences...Mommy milk please! or "baby sleepy go na-night". She is starting to learn colors...the top two right now are yellow and blue...she's got those down!
They weighed her at the Doctors..only 23 pounds! :( I was hoping a little more...the Doctor didn't say anything bad about it...she has her 2 year checkup next month...so I'll find out more than...she's just such a PICKY eater...and a very light eater....she doesn't ever want to eat much.
