To my dismay -- after all who wants to become regulars at their pediatricians office???
We were back in Dr.Prabhu's office today, weren't we just there last week?! This afternoon Hailey felt warm and sure enough a thermometer reveled a temp of 101.9, what now?! I called the pediatrician and they told me to come on in -- 30 minutes after I got off the phone Hailey was once again in an exam room. A quick check of the ears, clear, lungs, clear, throat, ah ha -- good and red. The doctor assured me that in 12 years of practice he had never seen strep in a child under 12 months, and therefore it was probably viral, but he ran a test to be sure -- guess he knows his stuff because it came back negative. So the answer, Tylenol & Motrin to break the fever and she should be recovered in 48-72 hours. So were the two illnesses related? Nope, in the doctor's words "just plain bad luck" --I must say she does sick well, had it not been for her fever I never would have known she was sick, just happy as a little clam -- that definitely comes from mommy because daddy is a huge baby when he is sick!! Let's hope the Bug is bug free for our big ski trip -- we leave in T minus 4 days!!!
OH, and she now weighs 16 lbs! That's an extra half a pound since we were there last week!!
