Sicky-Poo

So we took Isabelle to the doctor yesterday after a weekend of coughing, a fever and a runny nose and come to find she has croup and an ear infection...along with her eye teeth (Dracula fangs as I call them) coming in.

With a runny nose and fever, we just thought that she was teething again. When she lets you look in her mouth, you can see the right one has broken through and the left one is trying to break through BUT when the seal barking cough came about and the Darth Vader breathing, we knew it was time to take her in. She was given a dose of steroids (2 pills we crushed up and added to some applesauce) to help the inflammation of her windpipes/breathing tubes to go down and some Amoxicillan for her ear infection and so far the bark has been reduced to a smokers cough with lots of "lung butter" as her Papa calls that gook! And through it all, except for her coughing fits that kept her up all night, she is still tootling around with a smile on her face. Our only worry is that with this being her 3rd ear infection of her almost 16 months of life, that there will be a lot more of those down the road.

On a happier note, we thought we would share this little clip that I got on my cell phone last week (what would we do without our cell phone video and camera capabilities?). This is the "princess car" that she got from her Godparents this past Christmas. The other day she was on it and I came up behind her and started to push her. Since her feet finally both reach the floor, she began to move them, scooting herself along as I pushed her. I then got in front of her, moved her feet with my hands and told her to do it herself. She got across the carpet on her own and soon found out that it is much easier to get around on the hardwood floor.
