So as a new parent I've had a lot of "firsts" this past year. One thing you learn fairly quickly is how much these little critters pull at your heart strings. Katelyn pulls on mine daily with her infectious laugh and silly personality. We have been pretty lucky to have had such a healthy girl up until last week. Katelyn never gets sick so this has kind of been a "first" for both of us.
Last Friday she woke up with a nasty cough and has been sick since. I didn't want to be "one of those parents" that take their kids to the doctor for everything so I thought I would just wait it out because I was sure it was just a cold and they couldn't do anything for her. Finally yesterday with a push from my older sister Mandy (thanks by the way) I called the pediatrician and took her in. Turns out she has RSV and an ear infection in both ears!! I can't help but feel really guilty for not taking her in sooner! No one had to put me in the "dog house" I walked there myself.
At least Katelyn has been such a trooper through all this and loves me unconditionally (so far) :)

Super Cute! Welcome to the blogging world. I hope Katelyn starts to feel better. I am so happy you have a blog now. Maybe we can keep in touch better. :)
ReplyDeleteYay!!! You've joined the blogging world. Sorry to hear that Katelyn has been sick. Don't fret about it. We all know you are a great parent. It'll take time to figure out their symptoms.
ReplyDeleteDon't beat yourself up at all! I know you just needed someone to say what you were already thinking. You know what's best for her. I am finding out parenting (or "acting" parenting) is so much harder than it looks and you are doing an amazing job!
ReplyDeleteI am so glad to see that you have a blog now. Hopefully this will let us stay in better contact. I am so sorry Katelyn got so sick that is no fun at all.
