Addison went to the doctor today and the doc found she has an ear infection in each ear. The left is worse than the right. She didn't have a fever and is really pretty happy except at night, so I was really surprised. She is on Amoxicillin for the infection. The doctor also did an RSV test and it was positive. RSV or "Respiratory Syncytial Virus" is an infection of the lungs and runs rampid in day care centers... let the infections begin! :(
She now has to use a nebulizer every 4 hours, which is basically a mister that goes over her nose and mouth and gives her medicine. So, right now she is getting Tylenol, Amoxicillin, and Nebulizer meds all day... plus the prevacid that she gets each morning. I feel so bad for her, but I know she'll be better soon. Luckily this happened right before we get off for the holidays.
Paul is the greatest husband too... he is in San Jose for work, but decided to come back home as soon as he could so that he could help out with Addison. I hope she sleeps a little better tonight after a couple doses of that antibiotic! Poor baby was up about every hour between 1 am and 6 am last night.

poor addie!! We had to do the nebulizer w/ Abby a few months ago--no fun but she did have a dinosaur face thing which she liked.
we will pray for a quick recovery. daycares and preschools are germy little places. It seems the kiddos are always sick now..
Poor baby girl! Hope she's feeling better soon. Mean ol' germs!
