What.a.week.

I feel like this week has been a reminder of what life is like with a newborn baby.  All the sickness going around finally caught up with little Mallory. 

Poor baby :( 

She started out Sunday with some congestion & it gradually got worse.  Tuesday right after lunch, Granny called me & said she thought Mallory wasn't feeling well at all; she wouldn't stop crying.  I went to pick her up & we went straight to the pediatrician as a work-in appointment.  Two hours & a $25 copay later, we left the Dr office with the advice to drink warm fluids, take Tylenol & come back if things worsen. 

Well, of course they worsened.  Wednesday night was awful.  After a night of no sleep for any of us, I was back at the pedi's office bright & early Thursday morning.  This time I saw a different Dr.  She tested Mallory for the flu, it was negative.  Still no real diagnosis of what is going on.  The Dr on Thursday did mention it could be bronchitis, but who knows.  Thankfully, she sent us on our way with an antibiotic & a medicine for congestion.

Today has been MUCH better.  No fever FINALLY.  I went back to work & got good updates from Mema all day.  YAY!  Except now my throat is feeling scratchy & my head stuffy.  Boooo :(

So on top of Mallory being under the weather & my households lack of sleep, several other family members had various health issues going on this week.  I am very happy to say good-bye to this week & hope for better days to come!

Oh, & I'm also almost out of sick time for the year & it's only February.  Okay, I'm done whining now.
