Does this look like that face of a sick baby?
After a day of running errands, Charlotte fell asleep in her car seat. Well, I just left her there until she woke up which was not too much longer after we arrived home. She felt a little warm when i picked her up but I figured it was just from sitting in her seat. She sometimes is warm after being in it for a long amount of time. Well as the hour progressed she had started getting rosy checks and nose, and just felt more warm than normal. She was restless and somewhat fussy. After about an hour I went upstairs to her room to take her temp. I was just sick when I saw that the thermometer said 103.0. I gave her some Motrin and took her to Urgent Care. We did not have to wait too long, maybe 10 minutes, but the time ticked by so slowly, and her head, arms, and hands felt to be on fire. She tested negative for H1N1 which I was so glad to hear. It turns out she has a small ear and nose infection. She most likely had a cold, and from that cold she got a horrible fever. I feel horrible that she has had a cold I did nothing about it. She has has a cough for a while now, but never had a runny nose, and never tugged on her ears as if they hurt. She is now on an antibiotic, and that shold help clear the infection. Just before bed I took her temperature again and it was sitting at 99.5, so it is on the way down.
These pictures were taken when we returned home from the Urgent Care. She looks quite ill.
