On Saturday, Eva started having a runny nose. Yesterday, she had a slight cough and then was progressively getting worse. Today, she had therapy and was a little off balance but her appetite was fine. I put her down for a nap and I had to wake her after five hours. She was scortching hot and drenched. From her ears to her chest was bright red. I took her temperature and it was heading fast to 103. That was enough for me. I gave her both ibuprofen and tylenol and she was clingy for about 45 minutes. After time passed, I got some juice and gave her her favorite relaxation therapy: Finding Nemo. She sat and watched Nemo while I finished fixing dinner, helped with homework, and ate. I scooped her up and put her in her highchair. Her appetite was still normal. She got some more medicine and I put her to bed. I will give her more medicine after eleven just so she does not become a 20 pound firetruck again.
We have a doctors appointment in the morning so I am hoping and only assuming she will be on some type of antibiotic.
Also, about a month ago, I started an Eva calendar. Everyday since the end of July I have tracked her health. Now that I see this pattern, it is litterally every two weeks. She last took an antibiotic on August 10th. If this pattern continues again in three weeks, I will see the IDI doctor and show documentation and hopefully she will get her daily antibiotic to boost her immune system.
