There has been some nasty sickness at our house since last week. I believe it was Friday Kelly started feeling horrible.. and I mean horrible. I have only seen him super sick like this one other time and that was when we were first married nearly 5 years ago.
He just stayed in bed and slept pretty much all day. His chest hurt so bad and he said he felt like he got hit by a bus. Poor Kelly. I felt so bad for him and tried to take care of him as best as I could but I also tried to stay away to avoid Rylee getting sick. I don't care about me, but I definitely care about her.
Well, that didn't matter. She got sick anyway. A few days ago she started with a nasty nasty cough.. a barky kind of cough that slowly got worse. Her voice was really hoarse and her cry was so sad and sounded awful. And today she didn't eat hardly anything. She drank a lot of water and a banana this morning and a few crackers this afternoon but that's about it.
This evening at about 5:30 I decided she needed to go to the doctor. I had been debating all day whether or not to take her in. Every time I have taken her in the past and it was just a virus so they couldn't really do anything. I decided this time I would just wait and see how she did but this evening she started fussing like she never has before and was starting to sound even worse. Then I knew I had to take her in.
I called the after hours clinic and they had an opening at 6:10 so I took her right over. Sure enough she has an ear infection and croup. My poor girl! She has been so miserable the past couple days and especially today and I felt so bad for her. She is now on an antibiotic and a steroid medicine.. hopefully she will feel better quickly. Sick babies make me so sad! I am just so SO glad I took her in tonight and that there is something that will help her feel better.
I have now definitely decided to try and keep her at home as much as possible this season to avoid her getting all kinds of sicknesses. I know she can get them from even us being in contact with something but I will take every precaution I can. I hate viruses and bugs!

My poor sick baby girl -- have you seen a sweeter sleeping face? Oh how I love her.
