Rough Week

It's been a rough week. On Monday, Mommy and Dada went to Little Rock to see a special doctor about baby Jude that is in Mommy's tummy. (Mommy added a link to his blog in the Friend's Blogs section of my page, if you want to read more about him...)
On their way back from Little Rock, my babysitter called them to tell them I was running a fever. By the time my friend Steph got there to pick me up, it was almost 105, and when Steph checked it at my house, it was over 106. Everyone was very scared! Steph took me to the ER, and Mommy drove very fast to come and be with me.
At the ER, they were NOT nice. They took my temperature in my bottom (ouch!), took blood from my arm (more ouch!), put a catheter in me to test my peepee for infections (ouch again!) and stuck swabs up my nose and down my throat. AND, they put me in a weird contraption so they could take pictures of my lungs (Mommy called it an x-ray). It was not a fun experience. After all that, they sent me home with nothing, and told Mommy to keep my temp down and to take me to my regular doctor in the morning.
By the next morning, I was feeling a little better, and was actually pretty playful at the doctor's office. Mommy let me play with her sunglasses to keep me entertained.





After all that, we found out that I had an infection in both ears, so now I take medicine, and Mommy makes me us an inhaler when I have a hard time breathing. I'm glad that's all over with.
