Today was Rylee's big Dr. appointment. I got up early and made her her favorite breakfast, pancakes. She ate 1 and 1/2 and it gave her lots of energy. She was running around the apartment being silly this morning before we left. Once we got in the car, she got pretty quiet and somber. She has been running fever on and off all week, and I had a feeling her fever was back. Her temperature was right at 100 when we got into the Dr's office. Before Dr. Melton even checked her ears, I knew what he was going to say.
Rylee's double ear infection did not go away. She had been on an antibiotic for 10 days, and all her ear infection did was get worse, so now she is on a different antibiotic. Therefore, this visit was not as eventful as we were prepared for it to be. Dr. Melton said it would be best to check her levels again when she is not sick, so he is going to do all those tests in 2 weeks, after her infection has cleared up. However, Rylee gained 1.5 lbs, and he seemed very happy about that! He said he's pretty sure that everything is fine, but she was definitely under-eating before.
We gave Rylee some ibuprofen as we left the Dr.'s office, and she started to be more playful again. We went to Walmart and then to Applebee's, and she was all over the place. She kept climbing up into the windowsill and sitting there. Eventually, I stopped trying to make her get down and just laughed at how silly and strong-willed she is. Goodness, I love that little girl!
