What a week!

Last week didn't start or end well for us..... All the birthday excitement must have gotten to Andrew because he woke up on Monday (1/26) with a temp, so Andrew and I stayed home Monday. He was acting fine, just running a temp. He was back at daycare on Tuesday. Jenna stayed home on Thursday with Bruce. Her nose was running like it was a faucet, and she was also running a temp. We chalked it up to teething (she has an eye tooth starting to break thru)....in the wee morning hours on Friday she decided to spike a temperature (104+) so we brought her in to the Dr. on Friday. She has a double ear infection - poor baby. The Dr. was also concerned about the high temperature so they drew blood (that was horrible), and gave her a shot of antibiotics (also horrible). The Dr. thought she may have a bacterial blood infection so that is why she had the shot of antibiotics. I'm still waiting for the call from the Dr. to find out if she did/does have the bacterial blood infection. Hopefully I'll find out today. She wanted to treat Jenna as if she had it, just to be on the safe side. For most of Thursday and Friday, she pretty much laid on our shoulder, and wanted to be carried around, which is not like Jenna at all.
By Saturday Jenna was feeling much better, and started to have more moments of being herself. I think that the nice weather helped. We spent time outside after lunch and before nap time, and again after nap time. There's a new snowman and a snow fort gracing the yard now. Now let's hope that she's on the mend and that spring will show up sooner than the ground hog claims it will :) I think we are all ready to be done with the cold weather & snow!
