Alice has had a bit of a cold lately but nothing too bad. She has had a bit of a chesty cough but that is sort of normal for her now so I haven't been too worried. Last night she was very tired in the evening and slept quite bad in the night. We checked her temperature in the night and it was 38.4 so no wonder she was a bit restless.
This morning she was very grumpy and it was a bit tricky to keep her happy and also tend to Elias getting ready for nursery (in the end he had an accident, totally my fault of course because I was so focused on Alice).
As the day progressed she seemed worse and worse. Didn't really want to eat much, didn't want to play and was mainly tired and grumpy. In the end we decided I should take her to the hospital and David pick up Elias (the nursery kindly let us pick him up later than normal).
The ER was very busy of course and it took 4.5 hrs before we were done. Luckily she was very easy going the whole time. Probably because she was quite off colour... They gave her paracetamol when we got in to take down her temperature (it was now 38.7) and later the doctor examined her and saw that she has an ear infection. She also got to inhale medicine twice to address the chesty cough.
Now we need to give her antibiotics for 10 days along with some medicines for her rattly chest. It's not so much fun being Alice at the moment...
