Just sick

We don't have much to report from our house. Just sick baby and sick mommy. I'm listening to Lexi cough up junk over the baby monitor as I type. Hopefully daddy will get a pass on this one. Last week Lexi had a low fever off and on and a drippy nose. She was very tired and taking extra long naps. Friday she was still tired, but doing much better. That night we headed to stay with friends back in the old neighborhood because David has something at the office Sat. morning. Sat. night she started to get congested and had this cough going on. Today I took her to the doctor on ibuprofen so I wouldn't be too achy while we waited. They said they would get her in but we would have a wait and we did wait. It wasn't too bad - just seemed longer because she was wiggly. Of course there was much sadness when the doctor looked at her mouth/throat, ears and listen to her breathing. He said her lungs were clear, but her ears looked very red inside. We left with an antibiotic prescription in case in the next few days she gets a fever, gets fussy, stops sleeping well, etc. She hasn't had antibiotics yet in her life. We shall see what happens. Hopefully I can kick this QUICK. Sick mommy is a struggle.

You're lucky you haven't had antibiotics yet. Tyler has had them a ton of times...not to my liking
