Sniffles and Sneezes

What a weekend it has been.  Last week about Thursday Kevin started feeling a little under the weather.  On Friday he worked mostly from home and I started hearing a few sniffles from Kaylee.  By Saturday morning all 3 of us were sick.  Kevin has stuffy nose, a throat thing, and just felt blah!  I had a slight throat thing but I guess I was having drainage because nausea was hitting me pretty hard (no grossness from me though).  I probably felt the best out of all of us.  Kaylee had a stuffy nose and a fever.  Her fever we were able to get down from 100.6 to 99.0 with Tylenol.  99 was today and 100.6 was Saturday.  We had to use saline solution and the "bulby" to get the snot out.  Not much came out.  But we tried.  Last night she scared me a bit because there was blood in her spit up!  We called the nurse service that answers questions after hours and on weekends and they told us that if she does it again to call again and we would probably be bringing her in.  They also told us to bring in the rag to the doctors office so they can test it.

Well after a night where I slept in her room and she woke up once really upset (not like her by the way she sleeps through the night every healthy night), Kevin talked to out pediatrician office about the event and they wanted to see her.  So we brought her in and found out the following.

-She is surprisingly happy while being sick.

- She will be OK.  Because we had to use the "bulby" some of her sensitive capillaries were irritated and some may had burst causing her to suck down that mucus and blood into her stomach.  That is why it was in her spit up.

-Our once 4 month old weighing at 13 lbs 2 oz is now our almost 5 month old who weighs 14 lbs 11oz.  What?!

-We just need to put some Vaseline in her nostrils and help her little stuffy nose to be unstuffed.  We got some tips from the doc.

-Oh also, she is so cute the doctor wanted to take her home with her!!  Ha ha 

We love our Doctor's Office!

We are lucky that even though all of us have been sick (and I haven't been sick in a LONG time) that Kaylee has been so happy and has had few moments where she really realized how sick she felt.  Thank you Juice Plus for keeping us healthy for so long and for this speedy recovery!
