Rylee was especially fussy all morning through church and then through the meal and even after, I kept telling myself it was her two new top teeth coming in, or she was just exhausted from the days activities - boy was I wrong.
Sunday evening Rylee threw up after nursing, and then again, and again, and again - She kept this up all night (really - all night long) and then through out Monday. She didn't want to nurse, or eat or do anything but sleep on her daddy's chest and be cuddled. So that's what we did (in the time we weren't trying to force pedialite or water down her)
We finally went into the Dr. on Tuesday after 24 hours and no wet diaper. After weighing her (she had lost 11 oz.) I put a clean diaper on her. The Dr. came in checked her all out and surprise! Wet Diaper! and another surprise, ear infection!
We started taking every opportunity to get some sort of nourishment into her mouth - a taste of a popcycle, water in her sippy cup, an eye dropper with pedialite... Tuesday night she was starting to look better and even nursed a little before bed. She slept 8 hours through the night and woke up with a smile on her face, something we hadn't seen in 2 days!
Rylee is back on antibiotics for her ear now, and her top two teeth have popped through! She is almost back to her normal aside from her appetite which is still working its way back up. We are so happy to have our happy baby back!!
thankful she is all better.
until next time,
Brit

I'm so glad to hear it was just an ear infection and not the flu...no fun...and I'm sure the teething just made her pain worse. My tummy wouldn't have been happy either! I'm so glad she's all better for everyone's sakes!
praying for the eat infections. love you 3.
Ya'll have seriously had one yucky thing after another! Poor Rylee, and poor Momma!! (ok, poor Daddy too- but looks like he got some good snuggles in) I hope the Spring weather and sun send ya'll outside to get some fresh, ungermy air! Seriously look into the apple vinegar/water stuff- I used it on B when she would pull at her ears, and no ear infections to date. Does she have an amber teething necklace yet? I swear by that too...! Now you need to update your blog tomorrow with a picture of her smiling! Those pictures were so sad to look at!
Glad she's better Brittani! So tough to see them sick and hurting. But God blessed her with good parents to take care of her in those times!
