Our Sickies.. SOLVED!

So last night Ashlynn spiked yet another fever of 104.. 104.3 to be exact.
An hour later it had only dropped .2 degrees..
.2!!!!
My mom and I wet her with a damp washcloth, and I even tried the bath (she FREAKED..even when I sat in the bath with her.. and gave her toys!)
About 1 1/2-2 hours later, her temp was dropping, thankfully..so I got her back to bed at about 3:30am..
Then I went to do dishes (long story.. LOL)
This morning she slept until 1:30 in the afternoon.. latest yet. I KNEW she needed to see the Dr. so I got an appointment for 2:45.
My best friend drove us there and we got lost..got there 10 mins late, then had to wait a good 20+ minutes in the room..alone.. staring at puzzles and books that Ashlynn wanted nothing to do with.
I didn't check her temp, but I hadn't given her any meds since 2am and she was warm.. Probably 100-101..
She cried whenever I sat down (holding her, mind you) so I paced around the room..
Doctor came in, checked Ashlynn's breathing.. Commented on the stuffy nose and how hard it must be for Ashlynn to breathe with such a stuffy nose, then checked her ears.
"Yup..this one's sore!"
The other ear..
"This one too!"
Double ear infection!!!
This was my first guess..an ear infection. I didn't expect double, but I can't say it wasn't in the back of my head.
I'm thrilled that it's something we can easily treat with meds.
And, thankfully, she doesn't HATE the medication. Not a fan, but she doesn't hate them like she does the Up&Up brand of acetaminophen. She hates that with a passion. (Loves CVS brand though..)
I wish I had brought her before.. I'm sure they could have caught it on Tuesday, when she started with the sleepiness and weird poop. But I didn't know at the time, and didn't think TOO much of it.
Her fever was a low-grade today, nothing major..
And tonight I gave her ibuprofen at 11:30pm or so, just to keep the fever at bay..and guess what!
I checked her when she started to fuss about 10min ago (it's currently 1:53 am) and she has NO fever! NOTHING!
She's actually quite cool!!!
Poor girl has achy ears though.. she started tugging them for the first time today.. A lot.
Wish her a quick healing!

And HAPPY NEW YEARS!
