Sick again

Poor little Chloe. I suppose the reason why she has been screaming so much the past few days would be because she has ear infections in both ears and blisters in her throat from a virus. Poor little girl. She started getting congested this weekend after a whole week of clear breathing. I upped her brewer's yeast a bit, but it kept getting worse. Last night she fell asleep at 5:00pm and slept all night long. But she seemed fine this morning. However, when I picked her up from daycare, they told me she wasn't feeling well and that she had a fever that was rising. By the time I got her home, it was up to 102. I gave her some tylenol, but it was up to 103 shortly thereafter. I gave her a luke-warm bath which seemed to get her temp down. Then she took another nap and I took her to the doctor. He said that more than likely her asthmatic symptoms make every little cold turn into a major event. It's only been three weeks since she came down with pretty much the exact same thing. Poor little girl. Now I have to give her all kinds of crazy medication at all hours of the day. It always makes me feel like crap when I've been upset at her for being grumpy and it turns out she had good reason to be grumpy. Well, I need to go to sleep now.

Kels.....you are a good mom so don't beat yourself up! Poor little gal. I wish I had good mom advice....um the closest I have is cat advice and I doubt Chloe would like a toy with cat nip. :) Hang in there.
Love ya!!
