Pummeled



We really haven't done much lately because both of my girls were sick since Labor Day. Ryley started out with a sniffle and a little congestion at night, followed by fever for four days that wouldn't break unless I gave her Tylenol and Motrin together. The fever kept coming back day after day, night after night.

Our little baby Kai...she was pummeled. She started off by having "blowouts" in every possible place imaginable (even while changing her diaper). This lasted for a full WEEK! With a diaper rash in tow. She then moved on to fever, cough and congestion (which makes for a FUN night). Then just when you think you are done with the illness, you notice your baby tugging on her ear and crying. You decide you're taking her to the Dr. first thing in the morning. When morning comes, her eye looks like she's been bitten by a bumble bee. The Dr. takes a look and agrees with...just what you thought... A PINK EYE! Good grief! Ryley has never had a pink eye, but then again Kai is all over the place and puts everything into her mouth and rubs her eyes with her dirty little hands.

This is our first experience having both of our girls sick at the same time. It was stressful, hard, and with sleepless nights to add to the mix...you know...it makes it a real experience, one you hope won't happen again for a while!!


My little pink eyed princess!
