now that's a first

Day #1 - Nora and Sophie go to Urgent Care to get round TWO of antibiotic for, once again, persistent ear infections
Nora has fever this day that won't go away

Day #2 - working on ear infections, Nora AND Sophie have fever, after nap Sophie isn't breathing 'right'
head BACK to Urgent Care.......

While there, Nora's fever broke - she is fine!
but, we came home with a breathing machine full of steroids and a shot of antibiotics to treat Sophie's right lung full of pneumonia!!!!!!!!!

She is such a trooper.
I wish, so bad, that I could have had a video camera in the room when they had to do anything to her that hurt or was uncomfortable. A typical baby would have just cried, screamed, kicked, etc....
Sophie?
Told them all off in no certain words, at the top of her lungs. The nurses thought it hilarious, making her even more mad and tell them even more what she thought of the event!

Holly-

If you want to leave the ear infections behind let me know and I can help you find a good chiropractor in your area. It's the only thing that really works for ear infections. Medical treatment just doesn't. I've never had a kid with them who hasn't had them clear up (permanently) including a kid that came in after having had an ear infection on both sides for over two years.

Let me empathize with you a bit. Amber had pneumonia when she was 2. I had a panicked trip to the doctor's office while my 65 year old neighbor watched the other two because he's the only one who was home. On the way there the doctor called me on my cell phone to make sure i was on my way...they were waiting for me in the lobby. This past december Amber taught Camryn how to jump off the top of their play kitchen and Camryn broke her foot and ended up in a cast. A week later Amber ran into the corner of the table at a restaurant and split her forehead open and got 3 stitches. Last week I spent 4 hours in the children's ER to get a peanut out of Cam's nose. The urgent care people sent us to the ER because they couldn't get it out. So we arrive at the Childrens ER at 8:30 pm. Eric is out of town so I have all 3 kids. At 12:30 am we finally see a doctor who said that they don't really deal with objects in the nose so I need to call an ENT in the morning.
It never ends as is always different, yet somehow we manage. I love your bog...I feel so not alone!!
