Easter Recap

Well what was supposed to be 4 blissful days off work turned into 4 days of not so much LOL. When we picked Maddy up from her dayhome Thursday night we heard a bit of a cough coming from the back seat...hubby and I just looked at eachother like uh-oh! And sure enough, thursday night it was just a bit of a cough but by Friday there was a runny nose too. She was now refusing to drink her formula so we tried water from a bottle and nope not that either. Ok water from a sippy cup? Nope not that. So we are now proud owners of every single type of bottle or sippy cup they sell in this town trying to get some type of liquid in her! Ugh but alas she just wouldn't budge this stubborn girl of ours! Saturday was more of the same...still didn't want to drink and now really didn't want to eat much except the pureed baby food (probably cuz it was easiest to eat). And Easter Sunday...well that was a day in it's own category LOL she was a little MONSTER! By 7 pm she had only napped 15 minutes and we basically just ran out of the in laws house after dinner cuz she was so bad LOL. Oy!

You're probably thinking hey dummies take your kid to the doctor but we didn't want to overreact to a cold so we tried a humidifier and saline nose "drops" and anything else we could do. Well by this time her cough had gotten worse and we said that's it. I don't care if the doctor laughs at us and tells us to go away at least we can ask if there is any over the counter meds for her cough since that seems to be the worst.

Well we took her to the walk in clinic and poor baby has an ear and throat infection! So we have her on antibiotics and are hoping against hope that she gets better soon! When I called her dayhome she wasn't surprised, she had 2 other kids sick over the weekend! So...Maddy has been at daycare for 2 weeks.....what's the incubation period for a cold?! LOL! That's ALWAYS how it goes, once they go to daycare there's no telling what they come home with.

So here's to hoping my poor little Easter bunny is on the mend. She seems a bit better, her nose is less runny and we have gotten 2 half bottles in her yesterday so that's progress.

Not many pics from Easter since Mads was so sick but here is Daddy and Maddys and my 2 cuties with their bunny ear headbands on...I just had to buy them! LOL! YOu can see MAddy's little snotty nose and red rimmed eyes in here, poor little bug!
