So Friday, I have to leave school unexpectedly and take Ashlynn to the doctor. She was running a fever at daycare and she couldn't stay. I assumed it was because she was teething, but then I remembered she had been coughing and had a runny nose. So I took her to Care Now. They ran some tests on her and took X-Rays of her little chest. At this point, her fever is 101!!! It turns out that she had RSV. The more I sat at the clinic, the more I started to suspect it. Some other babies in her class had been out for about a week with RSV. I didn't know how highly contagious it was.
On top of that, she had a double ear infection that could have been caused by the RSV, and she was teething...Poor lil Tink Tink!!! She's such a trooper! When she's awake, you can't even tell she's sick! She's napping a lot more..I'm sure it's the meds!
She was given three prescriptions, one of them was albuterol for a nebulizer that we don't think we need yet. Good grief...altogether her meds should have cost about $80! Somehow, I didn't have to pay a dime! Praise the Lord!
The Little Noses saline drops is for her crusty little nose, Tylenol and Motrin for fever, teething tablets for teething, and the 2 prescriptions for the ear infection and cough! Then there's the nasal aspirator that she loves!
Parenting...it's the most tiring job I'll ever love!
