guess again....

Today we got Kelsey's throat culture results and she did not have strep throat. Her doctor thinks she must have had some type of viral infection. I'm not a doctor by any means, but my motherly instinct is still saying that it was all due to teething. I know how my girls both run such high fevers so easily, even with teething. She has no cold symptoms what so ever and her other top tooth popped through last night. I will be glad when she's old enough to tell me some sort of clue as to what's bothering her. This morning she was still quite fussy and wasn't eating much, but this afternoon she ate a little bit of oatmeal and was content not being held for about 2 hours. (which is really good considering these past few days) During that time I got a few pictures of my girl. It was nice to see her playing and not attached at my hip for a few hours :) I guess we'll never know what she had, if anything at all.

I've been seeing a lot of this lately ("all done")

when I try to feed her along with her shaking her head no.

She was determined to wear both of these.

Still no interest in trying to walk.
It's more fun to fall and have mom catch you.


Taking good care of her babies.

playing in the snow = good nap

Macey had fun with her daddy this morning in all the fresh snow. It was the first time she used her new purple sled from Aunt Brenda. Last time she played in the snow she napped 4 hours, and we're going on 3 hours today and she's still sleeping. Also, an update on Kelsey. She was up twice last night and still isn't eating much. She popped a new tooth on the top last night! Her fever isn't as high today and acting a little more like herself this afternoon, which is good to see.

Strep throat?

So my little Kelseroo has been running a fever around 102.5 and last evening it started to go up and Tylenol was doing nothing for it. Jason had basketball practice so I am very thankful to Elizabeth for taking Macey for a few hours while I took Kels to the ER. There they examined her and found NOTHING wrong with her, just a temp around 104. They wouldn't let us go until they found something for causing the temp so they did chest x-rays, cathed her for a urine sample, drew blood, and did a throat swab. Everything came back normal. They had to bring in another doctor to examine her again and she found her throat to be red with white dots, she feels positive that the culture will come back positive in two days. So she got a shot of antibiotic there last night and is on amoxocillin starting today. Part of me still wonder if the fever is not from her two top teeth which are trying so hard to come down. Her gums are swollen and red and I can see the white about to pop through. I will call in two days to see if the throat culture came back positive.

I set her down yesterday for a second to take a picture of her so I could email it to Jason to show him how sickly she looked and here's what I got. Poor thing :(
