Sickie Update 2



Last night Penny's temperature, according to our thermometer, was 103. We decided to call the After Hours advice line again and made an appointment for this morning to bring Penny in, just in case it was anything more serious.

Her temp at the office was 99.8, where we were getting 101 at home, so we suspect ours might be a little off. But we are glad the high read last night prompted the visit... turns out she has an ear infection, poor girl.



So she's now on antibiotics for 10 days and we've switched to Motrin, which helps with inflammation and the fever.



She seems in good spirits today and her fever has leveled off at just over 99 for now so we hope by Tuesday she'll be good to go back to daycare. Until then, we are lying low at home, of course with a lot of hugs and snuggles.
