First ear infection

Saturday afternoon Megan was pretty crabby. Shawn's mom rocked her while she slept. Sunday Megan kept rubbing her eyes like she was tired but would not take a nap. She would only sleep while being held. She was coughing and had a stuffed nose. In the evening, she had a slight fever so we gave Megan some Tylenol and she was doing a lot better. Monday morning we gave her some more Tylenol and sent her to day care. Around 10, they called to say she had thrown up and had to go home. They suggested that I take her to the doctor because she just seemed so sick.

After waiting almost an hour for the doctor, she took one look at the goop in Megan's eyes and guessed ear infection. She looked in her ears and said they were really bad. The doctor said they could drain. She gave us some oral antibiotics and some eye drops. I'm so glad that I took her to the doctor. I never saw Megan rub her ears and I never would have guessed ear infection. The pharmacy at the doctor's office didn't have the eye drops so they called in the medicine to Walgreens. I was very specific as to which walgreens I wanted so I was annoyed when I arrived and they told me that I had to go to the other one to pick up the medicine. Three hours after we left home, my sick baby was finally home to get her bottle and some medicine.

Poor Megan has to stay home tomorrow and luckily Shawn will stay home with her. It was unfortunate that I had to leave work early today. It was my 5 year anniversary at work and we had a big lunch planned. We were lucky that we were able to cancel the order in time. But the cake is now sitting in my boss's cabinet waiting for us to eat tomorrow.
