How sick can one little kid get? I probably don't want to answer that.

Poor PF. He took care of her while I was in Jamaica on work, and apparently she just got worse and worse.

When they picked me up at the airport, she was listless, feverish, coughing with a rattle in her chest and barely able to hold her head up.

I rushed us to the ER stat. Poor baby. Her lungs were clear, but her ear/eye/upper respiratory/ and vocal cords were all infected with stuff. She ended up on antibiotic eyedrops and zithromax. We have also been giving her benedryl to dry up her poor nose.

You know you have a funny kid when her big joke is to blow booger bubbles and then "sneeze" (she says "ah choo." Not "aaahhh---CHOOO!" but "ah choo.") The cough is misery though. She will wake herself up at night crying for shhoosh (juice) or a ba ba (bottle). She is also still breastfeeding sometimes, especially when she's miserable.

PF is now sick too. I made him tea this morning and made him take vitamins all weekend. I'm pretty immune to the crap she gets sick from, but he's worn out.

Will this sick, sick year ever end?? When are their immune systems up and running?


Ugh.

I called her insurance. The ER visit is going to be quite a doozy since we haven't come close to her deductible yet. However, the bright side of that is, once we've paid it? They cover 70% of every visit after.

Still, it was worth it. I really thought she had RSV.


Poor darling beanie boo. Feel better.
