sick little baby


Poor Anslee was so sick last week. I took her into the doctor on Thursday because three of her fingers from her top knuckle up were red, hot to the touch and swollen. She had also been fussy for two days. The doctor found that she had strep throat and an ear infection. She thought Anslee's fingers were infected hangnails. She used a scapel and drained them a little (ouch!) then put antibiotic ointment on them. She also prescribed an antibiotic for her strep and ear infection.
The next day we went back to have Andrew checked for strep (he didn't have it) and I wanted her to look at Anslee's fingers again. They had started streaking. So the doctor gave her an antibiotic shot and drew a line where the red stopped. She said if it progressed past that she'd have to get an iv. Luckily when she woke up on Saturday morning she looked much better!!
By Sunday she was her happy, normal self.

Bless her heart! The draining sounds awful. Glad everythings on a upswing! Is she a dancer? Cute picture!
