On Saturday evening, Marlee started feeling very bad. She was crying and holding her ears and seemed to be in so much pain. I do not like it at all when my baby is sick or in pain...especially when she can't tell me what hurts. After a couple of hours, she began to run fever and we called our wonderful doctor, Dr. LaRue to see what he thought we should do. He is so sweet to take calls any time of the day even on the weekends and he called in some antibiotics for her. On Sunday, she slept most of the day and had a nasty cough, runny nose, fever, you name it. This morning we were waiting at Dr. LaRue's office when he opened at 10:00 a.m. Well, we waited and waited and waited (a couple of more hours) and after 3 hours of waiting, we finally saw him. Those little rooms they put you in to wait on the doctor...get very small after a while. Her ears looked great he said (a big relief because she has had lots of ear infections and I was beginning to get worried) but she had bronchitis and a sinus infection. Poor baby :( Antibiotics are a great thing and even though she hates taking them, we love how they will get our sweet baby feeling back healthy again.
