Yes, Christina Aguilera originally, but also Piper. Dan ended up taking her to the pediatrician last night during evening office hours. Turns out, she has a 'complicated cold', an ear infection, and pink eye! Give a kid a break!
She's on an antibiotic and round-the-clock Tylenol during the day and Ibuprofen at night for the pain in her ears.
One of the problems with Piper is that she's such a trooper that sometimes it's difficult to know how sick she really is. The pediatrician assured Dan that we brought her in at just the right time though - he said a few days earlier and he would just have diagnosed it as a cold.
So... she's on the mend and her spirits are still remarkably high. She got to stay home with Daddy today, so I'm sure that helps her cheery disposition :)
As for the rest of us... our eyes are feeling suspiciously itchy since Piper's diagnosis was received... Especially since her favorite pastime is trying to poke my actual eyeball. Sometimes she'll even go as far as to lift up the lid if I squeeze them shut. Guess we'll wait and see what happens!
Oh, yeah, the sympathetic pink-eye itchiness. Just wait until you hear that one of her classmates has lice. Then you'll want to burn all of your clothes. At least that's how it was when I worked in a preschool.
ReplyDeleteYikes! You didn't tell me she had pink-eye. I've having enough problems with allergies in my eyes and now I might get pink-eye.
ReplyDeleteIt's ok, I will still take her in the morn should you need me.
Love,
Sue
