What a Trooper...

Wow, what a year it has been for Emma with sickness. I guess that's what happens when you go to daycare and everyone shares germs. She started daycare in August when I went back to work, before that she never even had a cold, runny nose, etc. In November, she got RSV which was very scary for us. She didn't have a terrible case, but bad enough. Then she had a constant runny nose, cough, and congestion until around February. In February, she got a double ear infection and upper respiratory infection. This was the first time she was put on antibiotics. The antibiotics made her stomach super upset. Poor thing! Then not even a couple days after she finished her antibiotic, we had to take her to the After Hours Pediatrics because she had a fever and was pulling on her ear. She had another ear infection and double pink eye. She finished that round of medicine and we went back to check and she still had the ear infection, which put her on her 3rd round of antibiotics. She also had a yeast infection and thrush from all the meds. UGH! Today I took her for another follow up and her right ear is perfect (yay!), her left ear has a little fluid but no puss or inflammation, and her thrush is all gone. We are going to wait a month until her next well appointment to recheck the ears. She now has croup, which is really bad at night. So she is taking a steroid for the next three days. What a year! Poor baby! You would never know though because she is happy and smiling all the time. We are so blessed! Please pray that Em gets healthy~! 18 more days until 8 weeks off of daycare--yay!!!!
