Can you spell H O S P I T A L

Well we can! We were there yet again today for Ellie. She has continued with the puking and now has become lethargic. She is also very, very warm when you touch her skin. Yet she has not temp. How weird is that?

So it was determined that she has yet another ear infection, fluid in her other ear, a sinus infection, and maybe some sort of respiratory infection. What the hell? Could this little girl be anymore sick this winter? They gave her yet another shot of antibiotics called Rosefren and we are suppose to go back tomorrow for another shot. The doc is thinking that Ellie is one of those kids who needs longer than the standard 10 day treatment to get rid of the junk in her body. So who knows. She took a 3 hour nap when we got home and has since eaten about 3/4 of a banana and has kept it down.

I hope we are to the end of this crap. I am sure Ellie is tired of being sick, and I know Kris and I are tired of it all to. I think I may move myself into a bubble to keep the germs out. HA HA......bubble boy!

Well a new episode of Diego, or Dora (I can't remember which) is starting and I must devote all my attention to it or Ellie will flip out.

Have a nice night all!

So, are they thinking that maybe she's not totally getting rid of these sicknesses in between, and that's why they keep popping up? I've just never seen anything like it.

Yes, the doc thinks that when she takes the normal 10 day dose Ellie is not completely getting rid of the infection. So they are going to try an extended treatment.

I am starting to think we need to either switch docs (as I am not impressed with what the current one has done) or we need to see a specialist.

Who knows.

I am so sorry to hear all of this. Is she on any vitamin c or immune booster like eye bright made by herbs for kids. You may want to alter her diet a little. But that is just the stuff I try-it may or may not work for you guys. I am sending you all hugs. Must be scary too!
