We now have 8 teeth! Baby Girl has cut her last tooth of the bottom four. So now she has the basic four up top and the basic four on the bottom. Maybe now we can rest for awhile! We have been very busy lately - up to doctor visits, work and more doctor visits! Baby Girl first caught a cold, which might have been allergies - but ended up cutting her 7th tooth. Then high fevers followed by THE RASH! She had a classic case of Roseola. We went to the doctor to confirm the diagnosis and check on a cough that had appeared. Doc said cough was just a cold - no need for antibiotics, the rash would go away soon and the fever should stay put. Well... it didn't. A week later her fever reached 105 degrees and off to the hospital at 11pm we went. A chest x-ray confirmed my suspicion of pneumonia. We spent the night in the ER - her first visit! We spent the next week cleaning up spewed mucous from her coughing up the gook in her chest. That couldn't have prepared us for what we'd be cleaning up THIS week, however! The antibiotic of choice for her doctor was Augmentin. It is a strong dose of Amoxicillian and few other kicks. So - the explosive diarrhea diapers have taken over our lives! Out shopping, at nap time, in the middle of the night ~ it's unbelievable! At least her cough is gone, her smile is back and she's back to bouncing off the wall!
This was taken at Roger's Park on the Weeki Wachi river. She loved the water (although the explosive diaper took over there as well!) and the swings at the park. She wasn't too sure of the slide, but went down it once for Mommy. She played in the sand - didn't even eat too much of it! We're just glad that she is feeling better and back to her bubbly self.
Welcome to world of parenting! Unfortunately the bad always comes with the good. Gotta have a strong stomach to be a Mom!! Love, Carolyn
