Happy Valentine's Day

So Valentine's Day has always been a holiday that Pat and I enjoy. Our wedding anniversary is February 11th and so we have sort of combined our celebrations the last few years. Well this year we celebrated our anniversary up at Yosemite, which was great. The weather was beautiful and our hotel was very nice. We stayed for one night and my mom stayed with Jenna. When we got home on Friday, my mom told us that Jenna had a bit of a rough night and was coughing a lot. Friday night was the same, and by Saturday night, she was downright sick. She had a fever, and was coughing so much. We used our usual meds and did a breathing treatment, and decided against the ER, figuring they would likely do the same things we were already doing. This morning we headed to urgent care, and after a three hour wait, Jenna was finally seen. She has an ear infection, and an upper respiratory infection. We were given antibiotics, and told to keep doing motrin, a humidifier, and our nebulizer as needed. The doctor didn't swab her for RSV, but said it's likely that she has it. The treatment for that is the same as what we are already doing so I guess it doesn't matter. Anyways, we headed home and put Jenna down for a much needed nap. She slept for about 2 hours in her crib and then woke up crying. She was miserable. Poor baby was shivering and shaking and kept crying out in pain and grabbing for her ear. She wouldn't eat or drink. So pitiful. Within about 45 minutes, she was asleep on Pat's chest, and she slept for another 2 hours there. Her fever keeps spiking and dropping. We are alternating tylenol and motrin. This poor kid can't catch a break.
Daddy makes a very comfy resting place

Our heart-shaped pizza from Me & Eds. So yummy. Jenna was doing a little better by dinner and actually ate a little and tolerated a bath. She's back in her crib and we are hoping for the best for tonight. Thank goodness it's a 3 day weekend.

  1. oh man...I'm so sorry to hear that Jenna is feeling sick again. The poor kid just cant' catch a break. We didn't do much either for Valentines...no fun dinner (or breakfast or even lunch...sniffle, sniffle) Oh well, there's always next year. Hope Jenna is feeling better soon :)
