Under The Weather

Sorry, no pic to this post just a little update...

Marley is under the weather yet again with yet another ear infection. We got a call last Wednesday that she was running a fever of 101.8 at daycare and we had an hour to get there. I was on a way to an IEP meeting and Brett had no car seat so I called back to my work, found a car seat for us to borrow, and Brett was on his way. He was going to try to bring her back to work with him until after my meeting but no such luck as she threw up twice while with him. Then Thursday Brett went in to work really early, then came and picked Marley up for the bulk of the day, took her to the doc that afternoon to confirm the ear infection, brought her to me at the end of my work day then went back to work. Luckily for me I was able to work from home on Friday. I worked for quite a while Friday morning (and in the afternoon after our appointment), prior to when she woke up, but her fever was so high in the middle of the night (103.7ish) that I called the ENT first thing Friday morning and they agreed to squeeze her in. By the way, she flat-lined her tympanogram in her left ear which means what she is hearing is significantly muffled.

Her first set of tubes fell out at the end of November and we've had at least two ear infections (with significant fluid build up) since, within about 2 weeks of each other; of course the ENT agreed with me that she needs new tubes, how could he not. So this Wednesday we go back in for a new set of tubes and to have her adenoids (actually there is only one) taken out as well. She'll be home on Thursday and Friday but luckily for us I was able to entice Kristen (with some cash and free food) to come back to school early and do some all day babysitting for us!

She's continued to run a fever on and off since Wednesday...here's praying that she can stay fever free at daycare tomorrow and Tuesday OR that the snow comes through so I have a couple of snow days from school because I CANNOT miss any more work and neither can Super Daddy!
