January Has Been Quite The Month!

First the stomach flu...then when she got over that she started to get a cold. She's had plenty of those so we just did what we usually do...turn her humidifier on at night, give her the Rondec DM drops (per doctor's instructions) for the cough and congestion, some Vicks on her chest and lots of TLC from mommy and daddy. About 3 or 4 days after the cold started, we got a call from daycare saying she had a temp of 100 and to come get her. I picked her up and took her to the Ped's Urgent Care Clinic in downtown Riverside (her regular doctor wasn't available). We got in to see the doctor and she didn't have a temp. He said she has a "bug" and to just keep doing what we're doing. Cut ahead a few more days...Grandma and Pop Pop arrive to take care of the little princess while Daddy and Mommy go to San Francisco for the weekend!! Sarah was still a little congested and had a cough but seemed "fine" otherwise. We get back and now I'm feeling worse and Grandma is starting to get it. I go to see my doctor on Monday night and I have a sinus infection. I get antibiotics and some (amazing) cough syrup for bedtime. I was worried about Sarah so Chris took her in to see the doctor Tuesday morning. He said it was a good thing we brought her in - she has a sinus infection and BRONCHITIS!! My poor little baby!! No wonder she wasn't feeling good! The doctor gave her some Amoxicillin, Albuterol syrup and Prednisolone. We're currently on day 3 of the meds (well, most of them, she throws up the Prednisolone and then refuses to take the Albuterol - but she's had ALL of her Amoxicillin doses!) and she seems to be doing much better! What a month!!!
