Today

Today I took Harley to the doctor. For the past 2 weeks she's been playing with her ears. She hasn't been really fussy, so I just thought maybe she found her ears or something. I don't know. About a week ago she started having a runny nose, then she had a fever (for only 1 day), then she started having a cough. She wasn't sleeping through the night very well. We put the humidifier in her room the past few nights and she's sleeping through the night again. YEAH!! Her cough has sounded worse...So, we decide to take her in to see the doctor. Turns out she has an ear infection in her right ear, a yeast infection in her mouth (mild thrush I guess) and her cough & runny nose will just have to run it's course- 2 to 4 weeks. The doctor said to use a humidifier and saline drops in her nose. Well, at least she's such a happy-sick baby.

oh so sad, vie has been sick to im just glad she didn't get it from us! i don't know if your still nursing but watch out for the thrush, you'll pass it back and forth, and if they gave you antibiotics for the ear infection that too causes thrush! you can call me ill explain

Antifungals are still the most common form of treatment but if you’re looking for a natural probiotic treatment then studies show that several foods are helpful.Yogurt that contains Lactobacillus acidophilus has show in trials to be of help. Then acidophilus pills might be worthwhile because it didn’t seem to matter whether the yogurt was in contact with the yeast cells.

Poor baby. Ryder is a happy-sick baby too. We are spoiled moms for that. I also took Ryder to the Dr. yesterday cuz he's had a nasty cough forever and started pulling at his ear. Turns out he's fine and just has a lingering cough. His Dr. said tons of kids have it right now and it's just taking forever to go away. We just need the weather to change I think.
