Chris has been traveling a lot for work, which I might have mentioned, so last week he was out of town all week. I am getting used to being a "single" mother although, I don't enjoy it! Last Wednesday night I went in to check on Ava as I do every night prior to going to sleep and she was breathing really heavy. So I put my hand on her back and she felt really warm so I felt her head and she was burning up! I picked her up, took her teemperature and sure enough 102.7! I gave her tylenol and put her in my bed with me. She could not get comfortable so I decided to go ahead and put her back in her crib. I was up that night every hour or two checking on her. She was still really hot. I took her to our peditrician first thing Thursday morning. (praise the lord for those walk in hours everyday!!!) I thought she might possibly have strep since Aiden just had it a few weeks ago but she had another double ear infection!!!! The Doctor also said she had a bad virus which was causing her fever to be so high and consistant. So, she is on another 10 days of Omniceft and this was her ticket to tubes :-( We are in between insurance coverage right now and leaving for vacation in a little over a week so I made her appt with the ENT for July 12th. We will be discussing her ears and I assume setting a date for her to have tubes put in in later July. I am sad but I know it needs done and I can't stand seeing her sick anymore.
I ended up having to stay home with her on Thursday and Friday since she was still running a fever early Friday morning. I didn't want to risk her giving her virus to the other little guy she goes to daycare with, so we spent some quality time together. Here she is on Friday afternoon after she started to feel more like herself! She loves her ball popper now! Also she weighs 21.4 lbs now! I can't believe how big she is getting!
Chris is traveling again this week for work. My mother in law came to help me this week. Like I said I almost feel like I have this down now...I know that I cannot get a shower any time but once the kids go to bed so my shower time is normally 9:30-10PM. I have to run to the store either at lunch or leave work a few minutes early to hit walmart on my way home if I need something. I don't make dinner most nights if I do it's something super simple! Luckily, this should be the last full week for him traveling. He is back next week then we are headed to Florida on the 26th!!!!! After that he has a quick 3 day trip and he should be staying close to home from here on out! :-)
