We woke up Christmas morning to Chloe looking and acting normal, with the exception of a little bit of crusty's on her left eye. We didn't really think much of it. She was acting pretty normal. Christmas day went exactly as planned. She napped great and we went to my brothers house for dinner. Came home, gave Chloe dinner and a bath and she went to bed without a problem. She slept great, as normal. And when Husband woke up Monday morning she was still pretty ok...with the exception again of the eye crusty's. At about 10am ish, she just started getting really cranky and fussy. I called the doctor and told them about her eye and he called us in some eye drops. So, I went and picked those up for her and just got all the stuff from Target that we had on our list for the day. (Mind you, we had our entire day planned out for going to like 6 different stores, returning, exchanging. The whole 9. AND we were supposed to meet up with Husbands cousin from out of town, but that didn't happen.) So, anyways. Got home with the eye drops, and started those immediately. She just wasn't getting any better. We decided to pack up and go to the Urgent Care. We got there, and the waiting room was PACKED.....and when we signed in, a Mom and her son came up and crossed their name off the list and wished us luck. Said that she was going somewhere else. Oh, good lord. So we just crossed our name off the list and left too. We went home, called the doctor again and asked what could possibly be wrong with our little girl. She was just inconsolable. He said that with "pink eye" sometimes they can get an ear infection too...so just to give her some tylenol to ease the pain until we could get into the doctor tomorrow. Ok. So we did that. And that seemed to work. We gave her that and she literally passed out on Husbands chest. But that didn't last long. When she woke up, she was the same. Wouldn't stop crying, rubbing the side of her head (where her ear canal would be) and just not good....so we waited a little while, threw the idea back and forth and finally decided to just take her to the hospital. If she had an infection, she needed antibiotics. And we didn't want to wait until tomorrow to start those. So, we again, packed her up and went to the ER.....we waited and waited and waited and waited....probably close to2 hours later did we finally get in to see the doctor. He took a quick look in her ear and at her eye and just said, yep, there is an infection in her ear and her eye. I'll give you some eye drops and some Amoxocillion. Well, we already had the eye drops, and so he just wrote the Rx for the Amox, and we were on our merry way. So we got her home, gave her all her stuff, gave her a bath, finally got her to eat and drink some. And put her to bed. She was a little rough. Waking up a little here and there fussing and coughing, but for the most part, she did pretty good. Husband is staying home with her on Tuesday....she is supposed to go to day care Wednesday and Thursday, but I think he will just keep her home. He's got all week off....
But that's what happened to us. Hopefully I'll have the time to blog the rest of the week. If not, you know what I'm doing. And I hope to have my baby girl back to normal in the next couple of days.
