Blah, sick toddler.

Blah, I have a sick toddler... =(. Night before last Alina was hacking up a lung in her sleep and kept sounding like she was going to be sick at any minute, so I couldn't sleep at all. At about 6 am I started to doze off and had her cuddled up to me and she felt really really warm. Dustin didn't think it was all that bad, but I had this feeling it was and I took her temp. It was 101.5. Not good. I knew the ER wouldn't do much if her temp was below 102 so I was going to wait until 7 to call the hospital and get in for an acute appointment. At 0645 I took her temp again so I could give the nurse an exact temp to put in the computer for her appointment. This time it was 102.7. I freaked. I woke Dustin up, told him we were taking her to the ER right then and that was that. I went downstairs and had one of our friends that is living with us go grab her while Dustin got up and got his uniform on. (I wish I could have but I'm not allowed to pick her up anymore. =( ) I took my Zofran when I got downstairs as well since I was feeling pretty ill myself. Anyhow- Dustin called work, shaved and we took off to the ER, thank goodness we live about 7 minutes away from the Base Hospital. We got there, they took her history and her temp which was now 103 even. They gave her some motrin to bring down the fever and then brought us back into a room. Doc saw us pretty quickly and did the normal- checked her lungs, asked us what was going on and checked her ears. Poor girl has a double ear infection. Her very first ear infection ever and she gets it double. After we were discharged from the ER we went to the Pharmacy and picked up her perscriptions. She is on 4 meds now- Amoxicillin, Benadryl, Motrin and some ear drops. She is starting to do better now finally, shes still miserable though. At least she doesn't fight me to take her meds, shes really good about that.

In other news we are still waiting to find out if Dustin is deploying or not with the unit. One of his higher ups was made aware of the fact that I'm having PTL problems and sat down and talked with him about it. Pretty much everyone we know doesn't expect me to make it much longer in this pregnancy, including me. I can just feel that its getting close and its honestly terrifying to me. I just want to know if I will have my husband here or not. I'm told to not stress about anything, but honestly how can I not? Sheesh.

Anyways, talk to ya'll later!
