The last 2 weeks...


This picture was Sunday afternoon. She was playing outside in her play house! She loves to be outside doing anything!

Ok, so the last few weeks have been a little rough at the Ward house! We were at the Dr.'s office 4 times in 8 days. First of all, I took Alyssa in to the Dr. on a Wednesday 2 weeks ago. She had a really high fever and they tested her for strep and the flu. They both came back negative and sent us on our way saying she had a virus. I know my child and this was not a virus, but I trusted the "Dr." and headed back down the hill. By Friday, we were back at the Dr. because she was throwing up and had 104 temp. (pretty high, right?) Well, she was throwing up because the fever was so high. She could not even focus her eyes and could not stay asleep and the Dr. was not too concerned..UGH! They concluded she has strep, the flu, and double pink eye! So, we got our meds and headed home. By The next Wed. we were back at the Dr. because she was so conjested that she could not breathe or sleep so I wanted to make sure she did not have RSV or pnemonia. Well they cleared her of that, and said her ear was so swollen it was about to explode! I was like Awesome! So we got her medicine to clear up her ear. All was well, until Sunday night! I picked her up from the nursery and noticed her eye looked weird. Well as the night went on it was swelling. WEll by the time she woke up yeserday morning, her eye was so swollen it would not open and did not open all day. I took her to the Dr. and they said she was an allergy baby and would probably have to have shots. They put her on Zyrtec and she is muchbetter today! I am praying we stay away from the Dr. and Pharmacy for a really long time! They are breaking me!

So, here is a picture of Alyssa's eye last night. If it seems possible, it was so much worse yesterday morning. It has improved and opened up slightly in this picture. She is looking a little rough, but the poor girl has been through it!
