Feel bad for us

This is just a little glimpse into our life right now...

I don't think I've been this sick in years? I guess working at a hospital helps build up your immunities.  So what is worse than feeling like crap? 

 Having a baby that feels like crap too.

Makayla's little snotty nose and cough turned into a fever, ear ache, small appetite, and wheezing when breathing.  I called the doctor on Thursday and got the earliest appointment on Friday to see our pediatrician.  She was literally a little noodle all day on Thursday, she didn't want to play or be put down at all.  She just wanted to be held and rocked.  I had to bring her in the shower that day so the steam could help with her congested chest...she fell asleep in my arms in the shower.  Poor little baby

:(

 Cornell brought her to the doctor's appt on Friday morning since I'm also sick, and I got a call from our pediatrician about 30 minutes after the appt time.  She said, "Jamie, I think your husband is a little overwhelmed so I just wanted to give you a call and tell you what's going on."  Makayla had an ear infection, her lungs were very wheezy, and she needed a chest xray at the hospital to rule out pneumonia.  Plus she needed treatments from this....

A nebulizer.  That little mask with the eyes is supposed to be a fish head.  Apparently that is supposed to make little kids want to have a loud machine with smelly air strapped onto their face for 10 minutes.   Ha.  Makayla didn't fall for it one bit.  She's not a huge fan.

But the good news is that her x-ray was negative and she doesn't have RSV.

Just sick.

Here's her when she came home after the doctor.

Still wanted to do patty cake with momma.  :)

So now it's Sunday night and neither one of us is better.  I even called off of work on Thursday and Friday hoping that I would be ready to go on Monday.  But the germs are still here.  Although my body aches are gone so that's a bonus.  And I had a corn dog for dinner, another bonus.

Blahhhhh.

Make sure you are washing your hands everywhere! You don't want this sick bug!
