So during the past two weeks the adventure that we have been on with Grace continues.... I went back to work on Thursday, August 16 (two day institute). That Saturday night, Grace started coughing, nothing major but kept her from a sound sleep. We attended Madison's baptism on Sunday, still nothing major. On Monday, my first day with students, Grace went to day care at Grandma's. By Monday afternoon, I called the dr. office and they told me to do some things to help with her runny nose and slight cough and if it got worse to call again and schedule an appointment. During the night Monday night, Grace's cough got tons worse and woke Tuesday not feeling well at all. Cody ended up taking her to the dr. only to be diagnosed with strep throat!!! I couldn't believe it, how can a 9 1/2 month old get strep?!?! Especially since she hadn't been around anyone sick. I felt awful, guilty, broken hearted, helpless. It was a blessing though that Cody hadn't gotten a full time job and was able to stay home with her a couple of days while on the first doses of the antibiotic. By the weekend she was feeling some better and we went to Kewanee to Rebecca and Mike's wedding. She did great and was super cute! She still had a cough and runny nose though. She finished the medicine on Thursday morning and I thought she would have been all better. I called the dr.and they told me to bring her in to be checked. So off we went! This time she was diagnosed with a double ear infection!! Again, I couldn't believe it and all those same feelings came back. We are on day three of the antibiotic so hopefully Grace will be back to "normal" very soon!
