Kaya feels puny

   Kaya started Sunday evening with a mild fever but nothing serious. No cough, no high spike in fever, good appetite and playful. But Monday night she was coughing horribly (but not her croup cough we have once every year), her fever was staying up but not super high and she was just not doing her normal activities. After work on Tuesday, which thankfully I got off at 3, she was running a rather high fever, coughing insanely, and complained she only wanted something to drink. When she wasn't sleeping. We had used the vaporizer, a breathing treatment during the day, fever medicine so we knew we better call the dr.
  With the merger of the peds offices it's not as easy to see our regular dr. We are not "Frequent callers" as Kaya isn't sick very much at all. (Matter of fact we saw the dr twice last year...once in June for her yearly checkup and once in Nov I think for the croup). We usually have one round of croup either in the fall or in Feb. We love her dr but to get an appt today we had to use the after care clinic and see the on duty dr. I'm thankful for the after care clinic because it's in the same office we use (so no odd scary place like the ER for Kaya to stress about) and most the time we can see our reg dr.  This time we had to see another dr (the after care clinic cost a bit more but still way less than an ER visit). Kaya wasn't too impressed with the dr. The dr was nice but rather stiff..not like Kaya's reg dr at all lol
  They swabbed her for the flu...which she doesn't have, asked about her not having a flu shot (our reg dr knows we don't do the flu shot because we can never get a reg one that doesn't contain swine flu..which we don't do the combo shot) and the final diagnosis was lower respitory infection. Two teaspoons of amoxicillin  daily for 10 days, breathing treatments every four hours and her inhaler if she needs it. Fever medicine we were giving her was fine.
  Tonight her fever has crept up to 102 and wavered very little. I hate when she is sick and puny. I'm very blessed to have a healthy bouncy energetic girl. Hopefully following the drs orders, lots of rest and fluids she'll be feeling like her old self soon :)
