Sickness GOOOOOO Away!!!!!

Yesterday was quite eventful at our house with our sick little Ava. It started on Sunday when I noticed a white patch in her mouth along with the fever blister looking things in the corners of her mouth and some red dots on her bottom lip. We have had the Hand, Foot, Mouth thing before so I was certain that was the beginning of that nice sounding virus! No fever though! So before taking her daycare I wanted to swing by the doctor to be sure! I left for work and her Daddy and her waited at home until the appointment. He said she was VERY fussy. I met them at the doctor and instantly saw that look in her eyes that us Mommy's know...FEVER & SICKNESS so I was glad we were at the doctor! Her fever was 101.8 and her nose had started running more and the COUGH was coming back (wonderful)!!!! A trip to the doctor is ABSOLUTELY HORRIFYING with Ava. They learn very quick about the doctor and what all it entails. Ugh, I HATE it!!!! She instantly starts crying at the weigh and temperature checking station! Finally settles down in the room and in walks the doctor and she starts AGAIN! Ugh, how annoying!!!!! Anyways, Dr. Russ got her all checked out. Did not seem to think it was Hand, Foot, Mouth. Ava has an ear infection (only her third) and is cutting FOUR teeth! About time the child get some more teeth, but NOT four at one time! My gosh, no wonder she is pouring drool out of that mouth like a water faucet! I still think it's something more because Motrin apparently BURNS her mouth very bad! So, back to work I go after dropping off her presciption and Ava and Daddy go home. I go home to lunch to give medicine to bring her fever down! At four her Daddy calls me to COME HOME NOW! He says she is shaking and burning up! I come home to find a VERY sick little girl. And I'm thinking this could NOT possibly be just a dang ear infection! I call the doctor and they say blah, blah, blah, everything I already know to do! Her snot has tripled since leaving the doctor earlier, her cough is gross, she is drooling uncontrollable, her fever is so high all she can do is lay there, she is shaking, eyes glazed, red and bloodshot, IT IS JUST A VERY SAD sight and Mommy and Daddy are worried. Finally Motrin kicks in and she walks around some and is a little better!!! Two hours later the dang fever is BACK and she shivering like crazy! Can't give medicine so now I'm really worried. She falls to sleep and I cover her up warmly and the fever breaks at just about the same time when the medicine is due! Thank you GOD, you are a GREAT GOD!!!! She didn't sleep very well, but was looking much better this morning!!!!!! So relieved and happy to see my baby back to normal! Whew what a day!!!!!!! Hopefully next post will be on a happier note!!!!!
