we’re getting over our second week of snapper being sick.
sure, we knew that a side effect of going to baby school was being exposed to other kids and potentially coming down with something, but really? immediately? she went that first wednesday and thursday, and by saturday night had already come down with a cold. that sunday was terrible, but she was better through most of last week, until thursday where she threw up at baby school and had a fever. hmc went and picker her up, and snapper was tired and lethargic, which FREAKED us out. sudden trip to doctor’s office said that there was nothing really wrong, but just to give her some children’s motrin to help take down the fever.
again, up and down over the weekend. but much much better on monday, except for a still runny nose and a little bit of coughing. nothing like that other baby tobias’s HORSE COUGH, though. geez. lay off the menthols, kid!
they had me come pick her up today because she was fussy and had a tiny fever. although i got there and she was acting TOTALLY FINE. i think the only reason she was fussy was that we forgot her pacifier, otherwise they probably wouldn’t even have taken her temperature in the first place.
in any case we had a weight check-in appointment at the doctor’s office later that day anyway, which confirmed that she’s fine and getting better.
the only lingering effect so far is that she wakes up much more often at night (often = more than never, which is what she used to do), but hopefully that will rectify itself once her sinuses clear up and cough goes away. go hello kitty humidifier!
(in case you were wondering, the survey said 13lbs. which is back on track. relatively. go carbo loading!)
