Her bronchitis along with her teething pain is making her very irritable.
We have to give her Amoxicillin for her bronchitis and Tylenol for both her fever and her teeth. She HATES taking medicine, as illustrated below...
Bronchitis, huh. It all started on Monday. Monday was a bad day for Isabelle; she was grumpy and tired and I could tell that something wasn't right. Monday evening when David got home from work we went on a walk to the beach and she still wasn't happy. That was when we really knew something was wrong because that is normally her favorite part of the day. She LOVES to walk and she loves the beach so walks to the beach are a blast. I had noticed in the beginning of the day that she had a slight fever and by evening time it was high enough to raise alarm. Monday night she didn't sleep much at all and on Tuesday morning she still had her high fever. I called the doctor and he was concerned so we went in to the clinic only to find that our baby girl had bronchitis.
Tuesday & Wednesday were intense. That girl was so sick!! It was very sad.
Today is Thursday and, thank God, Isabelle is feeling significantly better!! I didn't have to give her Tylenol at all today because the fever hasn't come back since yesterday. We are looking forward to her follow-up appointment tomorrow. She is normally such a happy, active baby so it is so hard to see her sick.
In closing, I am posting a picture of her being her old self again, showing daddy that she can drink out of a cup without his help. Love y'all!!
