i really would like to update this more often....yet.....we've just been so busy trying to get better....and ok i've been a little lazy too. With trying to get maile better i'd rather use my time to SLEEP...or read or relax in a nice hot BATH!
so here's the update....almost two weeks ago Maile was acting kinda funny. She would lay her head down on your shoulder or put her ear to her shoulder, or put her hand to her ear. So i thought , another ear infection. She had been doing it for a few days, started friday and continued through sunday. So monday I made an appt with the dr. We came in and they said we'll take a rsv swab, i guess its that time of the year? and we'll wait on those results, then the dr comes in and checks her says that she does have redness and irritation in her ear, so we'll do a antibiotic...ok...then the nurse comes in and says that the rsv test was positive....NO WAY. All of her other appts, they've tested her and tested her and they have ALWAYS been negative. But Luckily we caught it way early...she had just started to have a fever and was going down hill fast from there. So with that diagnosis, Maile had to stay home from school ALL week. And so did mommy. Other than the 1/2 day her tutu watched her, and daddy's wednesday off.
What a FUN time that was. Maile was pretty good, other than being clingy, and a little whiny. But I felt sooooo....bad for her. She had a temp of 101, with alternating motrin and tylenol, her fever would sit at around 99. For almost 3 days this is how we lived..maile wearing only a diaper. And when her fever scared the crap out of me...102 with motrin and wearing only a diaper... I threw her in the bathtub full of lukewarm water and she played with her bath toys and it DRAMATICALLY brought her fever down and she was my happy baby girl again!!
By Sunday she was definately on the road to recovery and on monday she was back at school!! Yea!!! Her teachers said they missed her, the life of the party was definately missed. Maile has them all wrapped around her little finger. Can't blame'um though, she definately rulles the roost around here.
