My poor Nattie

I have to say, it's been a rough couple of weeks for Natalie! On top of Kevin been gone and having to be in daycare most of the week-while I'm at school and clinicals, the poor thing has been sick off and on since Kev left! First, it was an ear infection, which she got antibiotics for and it cleared up. Then, she stuck something in her ear, damaged the outside of her eardrum and it started bleeding, so I had to take her to the ER for that (it was past normal business hours-of course!). So, she had more medicine to take, just eardrops to prevent further infection. THEN this morning she woke up early, and I picked her up to cuddle in bed with me, and she was a little hot potato! Her temp was 103.8! I gave her Tylenol and took her to the Dr. later that day, only to find out that they dont know what's wrong with her. They tried to say it was Roseola (a harmless virus), but she had that when she was a baby and you cant get it again. So, I just have to watch her, give her Motrin to keep the temp under 101 and call again on Saturday if she's still hot. Hopefully she's not, because then they have to draw blood and possibly admit her. Kevin comes home on Saturday, and that's the last thing we need! This week is just gonna be nuts. Between my careplan, clinicals, studying for 3 tests this Wednesday, AND doting after a sick toddler (who's VERY clingy when she's sick) I just dont have the energy. HELP!
