This has been one of the toughest weeks for the Carolina Cowleys in a long time! A week ago Thursday I picked Jenna up from daycare and KNEW that she was going to get a cold. They had just moved a couple of kids up into her room and the one little girl who kept following Jenna had a snotty nose. Tell-tale sign that a cold was coming our way due to exposure. So the cold started on Friday and by Sunday Jenna's eye started getting mucus in it too!
Monday we called the doctor and explained our symptoms and since the whites of her eyes were still white, it had to be related to her cold. Tuesday Jenna went to school so I could go be present at a home inspection for clients. Right after it got done, I received a call from Jenna's daycare that her eyes were really bad and that she definitely had pink eye, this was confirmed by the fact that her room had been exposed to it. So we got the doctor to give us a prescription for eye drops and we started those. By Thursday her eyes were looking better, but the cold and fever got worse! Thursday night she had a fever of 102, so she was going to the doctor on Friday. At the doctor's office her lungs sounded great but her left ear had fluid in it. The start of an ear infection if the fever continued. On Saturday Jenna's fever stuck between 102 and 103, and the age-old Amoxicillin was started. OUR FIRST EAR INFECTION. To make things even tougher, mommy got sick too and daddy doesn't feel well either. We are one pathetic bunch.
The only exciting thing for me was last night at Jenna's bedtime she was playing with daddy and decided that she was ready for bed. I was up in her room getting things ready for her and Josh asked if I could hear her. For the first time Jenna was crying Mama and looking for me. Once she saw me she came wobbling over to me. It warmed my heart!
