Impetigo and Strep- FML
OMFG the past few days have been hell!!!
Nikki clearly had a slight fever Shabbos morning. I only realized at like 10:30am, that we were both still in bed snuggling and she hadn't climbed off of me begging/banging to go play. Usually Mike deposits her with me and my ass gets dragged out of bed to at least 'supervisor' that she doesn't reak havoc.
I realized she was warm when it was like 12:30 and we were still cuddling. She wasn't sleeping the WHOLE time, but it was that cuddle, sleep, cuddle, sleep, pat Mommy's arm thing. Which she hasn't done in months.
As Shabbos went on, she was mushy, sleepy and warm. Saturday nite was HELL. Sunday she was miserable. Sunday night was HELL. I couldn't loose Monday as a work day. THe month is too dam short because of Pesach.
We finally went to the doctor last nite. Impetigo right away and then after a rapid strep it was definitively strep, but he seemed to be leaning towards strep before we even had the results in.
She hates being held for medicine. And I keep thinking 'but it's the bubblegum medicine' and i'll drink it if you let me, akin to how I used to chug grape flavored dimatappe. This may also explain my penchance for chugging codeine cough syrup rather than measuring a dosage.(And yet I can hoard it for years)
Last nite again she was with me. but last nite we actually slept, most of the nite. Tonite she's actually in her crib, I was doubtful she would sleep by herself. But BH she's been in her crib about an hour.
And instead of putting my ass back to bed. I decided to come post on lj.
And now I'm not feeling great. My head is stuffy which is ususally a cold or a sinus infection. MY throat feels scratchy and overall I feel like crap. Then again my iron is still really low. And I'm finding that I feel EVEN WORSE if possible when I have my period.
However I'm at the point mentally with ttc, that my attitude is that I'm not 'meant' to get pregnant until we resolve my issues with the iron. Like cvs that the chronic anemia is actually an indication of something more serious.
Honestly I know I can't complain. This is like the third time Nikki has had a fever. At 17 months it's her first time on antibiotics.
We've had: coxsackie, croup, yeasty diaper rash, coughs and colds, And now Strep and Impetigo. SO as much as it sucks RIGHT NOW. I know B'H she's healthy overall.
