I am SICK!

Like I mentioned in my previous post, I got sick. Marine called Mommy and left a message on her cell phone while she and Daddy were in court to say that I had a 102 fever. So Daddy came and picked me up while Mommy went to work. Daddy said that I just had a fever but that was wrong. I had a croupy cough. So Mommy called in for Thursday and spent the day with me. She gave me Motrin and lots of fluids (Vitamin Water I like that) and I did not eat well. Daddy came home as usual late that night. At 3 am, I woke up and tried to cry but could barely croak. Mommy heard me because she was awake anyway thinking about things, and she got really scared when she saw me. I looked like I had a sunburn, I felt like I had a sunburn, and yet I was shivering. My temp was over 103. I had difficulty breathing. Mommy called the advice nurse, and the nurse told Mom to tell Dad to get the shower going. After 25 minutes of sitting in the steamy bathroom, my breathing wasn't much better. So we tried the freezer thing where Mommy held me up to the cold air for me to breath in. Not much luck there either. My fever was going down because they gave me medicine. Mom had Dad prop up my mattress on one side. She lay down on the floor so she could hear me breathe and put on the humidifier. After a while, I just wanted her to hold me, so we went to the couch and I fell asleep with her boob in my mouth. Mommy had to go to a half-day training, so she did although she and I were miserable about it. We all went to the doctor that afternoon. Dr W. put me on prednisone for 3 days. I may have the beginning of an ear infection too. My fever finally broke Saturday night. I was really cranky all day Sunday, so maybe I do have an ear infection after all. Mommy took me to Marine's this morning even though I seem kinda out of it and asked her to keep an eye on me because she might take me to the evening clinic if I do not get better. Wah.
