kyleigh and the horrible ear infection/virus

Okay, so today was not a wonderful day. Kyleigh had a little bit of a temperature yesterday. I gave her some Motrin and it went down. I took her to Bright Start in the morning and left for work. She was very sleepy but no fever. I get a call at 1:40ish today from her teacher. Kyleigh has a fever of 101.5 can I please come pick her up. I call Amy to see if she is in Winder and can pick her up. I find that Amy is right across the street picking up her middle schooler because he has a fever of 102. GREAT! Well, I of course can never leave school before 3:30 ish- even when I am trying to. When I go to pick her up from Amy's I discover that her teacher told Amy that she had runny stools twice today. Hello?! Should that have been mentioned at 1:40?! So, I call the doctor and she says restrict her diet, call if temperature moves to 104 or higher. (god bless Dr. Martin- as much as I call her she tells me I am not the parent that she groans when a message is left for her.) So, Jonathan is taking a day off tomorrow to stay with her because Kyleigh can't return to school for 24 hours. geez! Which I totally understand , by the way. I just want to stay home with her. But, I can't - we have CoGAT testing tomorrow and I want that $100 gift card visa at the end of the year. We'll see... Just keep Kyleigh in your thoughts as well fall into...the dreaded ear infection stage!

  2. and welcome to the world of child care. Broderick was sick ALL the time, and Camden ended up so sick he got a bone infection from it. Not trying to scare you or anything, but it will get worse before it gets better. Give her a year or so to build her immunities and she will be as healthy as can be. Broderick didn't miss a single day of kindergarten and only one or two of pre-k.

    Thinking about you during all the craziness. I know exactly how you feel. Isn't it horrible having 20 some odd kids??
