Bria was feeling pretty crummy over the weekend, and on Saturday, we ended up taking her to the ER. Turns out she had good reason to feel yuck -- two ear infections and bronchitis, ick! After four hours in the emergency room, which included blood work, a chest x-ray, a bag to try to catch urine and check for dehydration, and two exams, Bria got a shot of an antibiotic and got to go home and snuggle Mommy and Daddy to feel better.
By Monday, she seemed like she was feeling better by some, but some little red bumps which the ER doctor had chalked up to her fever were still around and possibly getting worse, so we decided it was time to go back to the doctor. Tuesday morning, Bria started her day by finding out she had Hand, Foot, and Mouth Disease. Apparently quite common among small children, it is a virus that just has to be waited out, as there is no treatment. :-(
Because the illness is highly contagious, Bria did end up with an empty house to recover in -- we had to close the daycare for the rest of the week to keep it from spreading. Mommy will be busy sanitizing toys and cleaning, cleaning, cleaning!
