Another Illness

Claire felt rough all weekend. We brought her to daycare Monday and her teacher, Laura, called around 2:00 saying she thought Claire felt bad. I had taken Claire to the Dr on Friday due to a cough and runny nose but was told it had to run its course. I made another appointment to see a Dr after getting her from daycare. When I got her there she was in pain. She passed out a little, threw up a few times and was inconsolable. After giving her Tylenol and letting her sleep awhile the Dr was able to determine that she had sinus issues, a fever and an ear infection. The Dr said she originally thought Claire was "critical" but when we left she felt Claire's fever was the cause of the pain and screaming. We were given antibiotics, again.

Claire slept with me all night on my chest. I did not get a lot of sleep but I think she was comforted because she got some sleep.
