Jason left for Germany last week on Saturday and with amazing timing I was struck with a GI bug. I was supposed to go to Grandma and Grandpa's house but there was no way I was going anywhere that took me away from a toilet for more than 10 min. I did what I could for a while then realized that Evelyn would have more fun playing with Grandpa downstairs than hanging out with me in the bathroom. Thankfully he was willing and came up.
Monday I had a doctors appointment to check on Evelyn's ears to be sure that her infection was gone this time. when I went to pick her up from daycare she was being brought to the front and did not look so good. She apparently just started to vomit . Dr Albert told me to keep her drinking even if she won't eat and that it was a 24 hour bug.
Tuesday we woke up and everything was going well Evelyn was in great spirits considering. she had slept well and only vomited twice after we left the doctor's office. Then around noon or so she got a temperature. By 5 it was bad despite the Tylenol (103.4) the nurse said to try to keep it down and didn't think we needed to come in (I should have brought her in anyway) but of course i had the car seat torn apart to clean the vomit off of it.
Wendsday the Tylenol and Ibuprophen worked somewhat (102.4), Evelyn refused all food and would not do anything other than nurse. Since we had started to ween her I only could hope that I was producing enough milk to support her. We made an appointment to see the doc again to find out that the GI bug had helped to trigger another 2 ear infections. She was given a shot of antibiotics due to her other recent infections. Poor thing was misrable.
Thursday - the shot worked fairly well so she only had to get one more dose then a course of Augmentin. She was definitely was happier this morning and took two long naps during the day.
Friday - Evelyn was still fussy and refusing most food, she did eat a little bit.
Saturday - we spent the day at Grandma and Grandpa's house so we could hang out with Aunt Sarah. Evelyn was still not feeling well but was doing much better and played a lot and even ate some of Grandma's apple sauce! Once home however Evelyn woke up frequently until 11 when she finally stayed asleep. J was supposed to come in today around 6ish but the huge storm in DC meant that he was delayed. He didn't make it in.
Sunday - Evelyn was still exhausted and clingy but daddy's little girl (once he managed to get home). It is good to have J home!
