Last Thursday I was talking to my Grandma Carlson and I was telling her that we have had a few colds, but no fevers or anything that needs the Doctor to look us over. Well I spoke too soon for that one.... All through the night Olivia fevered and then when she woke up the first thing she said to me was, "mom, my ears hurt!" Well she has never been old enough to tell me that her ears hurt so I knew that she had ear infections. Later that morning I took her to the Doctor where they told me she had two bad ear infections and lots of lumps and bumps in her glands. She had a nasty cough, but it was more in her chest not in her lungs. So he treated her for the ears, sinus, and red throat, but couldn't treat her for the virus she also had. He told me that we had to watch and make sure she didn't get a fever over 102 because if she did that she could be coming down with something else. Well sure enough while I was a work that night Carson called to tell me that she had a fever of 104.4 and after 45 minutes, medicine, and a tub he got it down to 102.5. I came home from work early were we decided I would take her over to the hospital in Logan to get checked out. Once we got there her fever spiked back up to 104. The nurse said we need to strip her down to her diaper, Olivia looked very confused so I told the nurse she wears panties not diapers. They were very shocked that she was so little and didn't need diapers! They were very concerned about that so they gave her more medicine, Popsicles, and checked her for RSV. Luckily it didn't turn into RSV, so they just watched her for awhile to make sure her fever didn't spike again. We are now on the mend and very happy that she no longer fights us with taking medicine!
Oh on more exciting news,she has gone two weeks with a dry pull up at night so we are trying it out tonight. Oh please no accident tonight!!!
