Caskey Update

Well Emilee and I have been sick again. It turns out that the both of us have ear infections and I have bronchitis as well. We are both now on antibiotics and are starting to feel better. Emilee isn't running such a high fever as she has been and has been much more alert and active. Poor girl was so out of it Friday and I was hurting so bad (my skin hurts when I get a fever) that Lee ended up bringing us into ER Friday night. Four hours later we left with antibiotics for both of us and a cough syrup for me. This is the first ear infection for Emilee and hopefully the last for a long while. It took the ER a while to get Emilee's fever down and they were real busy so tests took a bit longer than normal. When we went in Emilee's fever was 103.2 and it was too soon to give her more medicine since I had given her some at home a few hours before. At 9 they gave her some Tylenol and almost an hour later it was at 103.3 so they gave her some Ibuprofen as well that finally combined with a wet washcloth brought it down to where she felt relatively cool to the touch and she was alert. When we went in she was really groggy and only wanted to be held. Pretty much let them do what ever they wanted to her. (NOT normal for her she hates being held and she dislikes being poked and prodded) When we left she was back to her normal self and was squirming to get down and actually grinned for the ER Nurses. It was so good to see my baby feeling better.
Emilee is doing so much better now and is much more active and is into mischief again. While I love having her be cuddly I would much rather her be healthy and happy.
