This Is Getting Ridiculous.

Seriously. Again.
Quincy prefers to snuggle with Auntie "Say-sey" during her breathing treatments. Usually we have to put in a movie to get her to hold still, but she was so lethargic last night that the combination of the steroid gas, her fever, and Kasey's cozy lap just lulled her right to sleep. I kept her home from church yesterday because she was coughing so much, and now I'm really glad I didn't take her, because I've since heard that Chicken Pox and RSV are going around...which certainly would not add to her congested fun.
We have an appointment with the pediatrician this afternoon.
If either of her ears are infected we are going to consult an ENT for tubes.
At lunch today, Reese blessed the food and asked that "Quincy will get much better because she's my sister and I love her, and thanks for Mommy not to throw up today"
At least we're being well cared for!
I am REALLY wishing we didn't have a $1000 deductible on our medical insurance right about now.

Poor Quincy, hopefully she gets better soon and hopefully she doesn't have an ear infection.

Poor baby! I hope you can work something out for her. I hear tubes can be the best thing if your baby has frequent ear infections. Good luck!
I miss my KC Sistay! :)

sweet girl...just so torturous when there isn't much you can do to help! hope she feels better soon!

Kasey said...

Baby Vader....hope she feels better soon. So, do they have to wait for tests to come back to tell you whether she has an ear infection??

BABY VADER...hahahaha! She sounds like that withOUT the nebulizer!

Oh...and the ears are CLEAR! No infections! Doc gave us an oral steroid to clear up the congestion, hopefully before she DOES end up with fluid and or an ear infection. Looks like we caught it early. Yay!

ALSO..OB nurse called me back and says the 325mg Iron dose IS correct, and she's "pretty sure" I "should be fine with just taking 13 pills in the smaller increments." She couldn't confirm that the stuff i have (the RECOMMENDED BRAND BY DOC) actually contains the same ingredients.
Is there more than one type of IRON? If so..why doesn't she know this? Pretty sure? SHOULD be fine? 13 pills? Yeah.Um... NO THANKS. I'll take TWO a day and hope it helps.

Why do these photos raise my hopes that she will win 8 swimming golds at the 2024 olympics?

Poor kiddo. Give her some girl scout cookies for us.

Poor baby girl - I hope she's feeling better! Sick babies are no fun at all.

1000$ deductible! How horrible! I'm SO sorry! I hope she feels better soon and the ENT can help her out. Poor little girl! I liked Reese's prayer though to help you not to throw up. Too cute!

Poor girl. I know that routine ALL too well. Millie currently has a fever of 103.2! The doctors office just keeps telling me to alternate IbProfen and Tylonol. Makes me crazy when the kiddos are sick. Xander has an appointment with an ENT Thurs morning. He has had tubes since he was 10 months old. He is always sick and congested and coughing and hacking, it has to be caused by something and the pedetrician can't give me any answers so were consulting the ENT. Good luck. Hope you all get better soon. When are you due?
