I was telling you last week of all the problems Alyson and I have had since spring break. Last week the doctor gave me antibiotics for my throat. Over the weekend Alyson started getting a cough again. By this morning she was back to her runny nose and congestion too. I also noticed last night she had white patches in her mouth...which explains the itching I've been having between feedings.
So I was able to get her in to see the doctor this afternoon. Her strep test came back negative...like mine did...thankfully!! The doctor said she just has a virus that's going to have to run its course. The thing we are praying for is that she doesn't get an ear infection out of it...that's what happened a couple weeks ago. As of now her ears look great though!! The doctor confirmed my suspicion about the white in her mouth...it's thrush. Pretty much just a yeast infection. He prescribed her some medicine for us to share so we don't keep passing it back and forth to each other when she nurses. Only down side is we will be fighting against the antibiotic I'm currently on for my throat. Fingers crossed the thrush medicine rules over the antibiotic and hopefully in a week or so we will be done with that as well. I don't know how much more of this I can take!! 1 step forward and 2 steps back...
Here are some pics of Alyson at the doctor today. She was playing with the paper on the exam table...just ripping it to shreds.
As you can see she's doing a great job sitting up on her own now!! She's starting to get interested in things around the room and wanting to get to them. We'll see if she starts trying to crawl soon. She's been getting up on her knees some so it may be here before we know it. Still no teeth, but she sure can play around with some foods in her mouth until she can swallow them!! The newest thing I've noticed is separation anxiety is beginning to set in with her. When I leave a room she's in, even if she's with someone else, she starts looking around for me and fussing some. Right now she's jumping away in the jumper watching me with a big grin. That face sure can make a bad day turn around!!
Here is the answer to yesterday's photo clue!!
A stapler!!
And here is a new clue. Are y'all enjoying this game or is it something you'd rather me stop doing?
