Friday night we went to Kim and Michael's to have pizza with them. Amy, Brandon and Emma were also there. Kaylin was fine when we got there, she played with Emma for awhile and then became a little whiney. She wanted me to hold her, so I picked her up and could feel she was warm, so Kim took her temp; 102, you have got to be kidding me! Of course I felt horrible that I had brought my sick child around Drew and kept apologizing for it. Kaylin did not sleep good that night and the next morning had a temp of 101. Our doctor's office is closed on Saturdays, but Medical Associates here in Maquoketa is open, so I drug Kaylin out in the cold, windy weather to go there. We waited for 2 hours, to be seen by the dr. for 5 minutes, and I was told it was just a cold. Well my daughter has had colds before and has never ran a temp or been lethargic, but the dr. assured me it was just a cold. We got home and Kaylin ended up sleeping most of the day, and when she was awake she just wanted to be held, those of you that know my daughter knows she does not ever want to be held, she is constantly on the go!!!!! She continued to run a temp, and again had a VERY restless night. Sunday, she continued to run a temp between 101-102, and was SEVERLY irritable and restless, and she got a stupid bloody nose. Again she just wanted to be held. I gave her a bath Sunday night, and that seemed to be the only thing that made her happy. She loves her baths. I decided to just let her sit in there and play for a while. I sat on the stool beside the tub and looked through a magazine. I could see her keep trying to stand up out of the corner of my eye (which she likes to do to test me), so I kept telling her to sit down, and she would. She usually thinks this is a fun game. At one point I could see her try to stand, so I fully looked over at her to tell her to sit down and what do you know? She had pooped in the tub! Here my poor daughter was probably trying to stand to get away from it, and there I am, Mother of the Year, telling her to sit back down. So I call Chad up to get Kaylin so I can clean out the tub, and put clean water in, he walks in the bathroom, takes one look and gags, PUHLEASE!!!!! Anyway, I get the tub cleaned out and finish giving her the bath, poop free. Again she has a restless night. Monday morning she wakes up and is again running a 101 temp. I call our family doctor to get her in that day. Chad takes her in, and what do you know!? She has an ear infection and a bad sinus infection! Needless to say I am a little ticked off that my poor baby had to suffer all weekend, when on Saturday, if the dr. hadn't been in such a hurry to get us out, could have diagnosed her correctly. So anyway that is our weekend, I am sure it is a lot of rambling!
On a different note, my dad went for chemo last week and the dr. decided to wait a week to give it to him, as my dad had not yet recovered from the last treatment. So today my dad is at the doctor getting a cat scan to see if the cancer has spread, and another chemo treatment. Please keep him in your thoughts and prayers!
Here are a few pics that have nothing to do with my post:
Well I guess this one does kind of, this was Friday
during the day.....
Kaylin discovered a case of Pepsi and helped herself
Here she is trying to drink it and DETERMINED to
get some out.
Trying to open the pop
Kaylin getting in her bouncer
She thinks she is quite funny standing
in it and making it bounce. The thing is
now packed away before she breaks her neck!
