Good morning
This little munchkin is still very sick. Fever at 103 still. 
Ibuprofen is starting to kick in for her so she’s down on the floor…but its a temporary thing I’m sure. Her playing happily attention span is VERY short.
Took her into the ped yesterday afternoon for the second time. Still no sign of ear infection etc. She has a snotty nose and THAT is it. Ped said if she still had fever on Monday then he’d bag her and check for a UTI. *sigh* Monday is a LONG ways away.
I was actually very impressed with this ped. Hadn’t seen him yet as he’s new to the clinic. Kaylin was miserable and started howling when I had to put her down to have her ears checked. And would NOT stop howling and the doctor wanted to observe her breathing. So I bit the bullet and said…I’ll nurse her and she’ll stop. So sat down and did that. Instant success. He thought that was way cool. He was observing her (while she was nursing hehehe) and I mentioned I was due in 3 weeks. Well so is his wife
And we started talking about that a bit. And he just thought it was SO cool that it would be easier for me to nurse the newborn because I’d already have milk etc, etc. He was like a little boy in the candy store with his excitement. It was contagious. He said that’s the way nature made it…and the way it should still be.
I think I like him!!!!
I may be switching my kids healthy baby check-ups to him….he was so unhurried and just sat their chatting etc. The last couple times my doctor of choice was NOT that way….and I was getting a bit frustrated with her…but we shall see. HMMM maybe his wife and I will be at the hospital at the same time
It is GORGEOUS GORGEOUS GORGEOUS outside. Even if it is only 7 am. I may bundle my fever baby up and take us all outside even if she is sick. It seems like an incredible waste of a good day. We shall see how she’s doing.
At this rate however we may be missing Easter Sunday. I’m not looking forward to explaining that to my kids. Praying hard that Kaylin gets better soonest!
Father God, I thank you for the blue sky & sunshine. I ask that things go smoothly today and the kids are overly demanding. I ask that Kaylin’s fever/infection whatever it is would heal so we could do Easter. I thank you for your love for us in your sons name, Amen
