Ear infection...

Well-after a really scary Friday night and four calls with Abby's pediatrician, we went to see her doctor Saturday morning to get this sickness figured out. Friday night brought over 104 fever, shivering, eye pus (weird, right??), lots of coughing, and fast breathing. After the first round of Ibuprofen, her fever actually went up a little, then switched to Tylenol and it went down to 101.4 so we put her down to sleep in her bed. The doctor was saying if we couldn't get it down below 102 that we were going to need to take her to the ER that night. Luckily, it did go down, so we settled for a trip to see her on Saturday. She was negative for the flu, which was the initial diagnosis over the phone, but she has a double ear infection that was causing the high fever and ear pain (forgot to mention that too!). We picked up some antibiotics for her yesterday so she's on the road to a full recovery!  We don't mind the cuddles in the meantime, though!
