ABBY IS SICK AGAIN!!

I promise I will post pictures very soon. It snowed on Sunday so I have some cute pics.

Abby is sick again! She has had some high fevers, lots of drool, coughing, and runny nose. I called to appt line to get in to see a doc but they didn't have any appts. I had to call Guy to get him to go down and get her an appt. While I was on the phone with the appt line I tried to schedule her one year well baby visit...They don't have any appts. I said what do you mean you don't have any appts...like ever or just that week. The lady on the phone said they just don't have anything for her. I hang up the phone and I am thinking so this is ridiculous. I hate the air force hospital. We are changing to an outside peds clinic after this experience. We went to the pediatrition yesterday to have her checked. To top it all off a third year med student examined her first, and he had the nerve to belittle me while my child is screaming. I was not happy but I said nothing. Abby's fevers were a real big concern. her temp at the pediatrition was 102.3 after she had been given motirn since 930 the night before. I just couldn't keep her temp down. They could not come up with a reason other than it was a virus. I have been giving her twice the dose of motrin every six hours and twice the dose of tylenol three hours after the motrin. I had to put her in the bath with luke warm water for 15min when we got home. That was the worst thing I have ever seen. I have never felt like such a mean mommy. She seems to feel better this morning and her temp is 100.4. They said they want her temp to stay around 100. I am crossing my fingers as the day goes on her temp will continue to come down.

THE ROTO VIRUS

I really hope none of your children ever ever ever get the roto virus. Abby got it on Monday and then Guy and I got it on Tuesday night. I have had food poisoning before and it is just about the same as that. Abby only got a mild case and she never threw up. She has been very clingy but very sweet. I have gotten plenty of hugs this week... which I really needed. To top it all off Guy flew to Phoenix yesterday for his oral board review. He seems to be feeling better. I am really tired of being tired, but I would much rather get the more severe case than Abby. Anyway reason for posting is they do have a sort of vaccine for the virus. You should really ask your pediatrition about it.

CONGRATS TO GUY!!!

Guy was named the new flight commander for the surgical part of the med group at Andrews Air Force Base. I am so excited and proud of him!! He is such a good doctor and I know he will be a great leader.

Abby is doing better!! Thanks to MK and Jennifer for the suggestions! She has been eating better and sleeping for longer periods at night. she only got up once last night.

I NEED HELP!!

I need some help!!! Abby has decided she does not want to eat anymore baby food. She will not even let me get the spoon anwhere near her face. I have only been able to get small amounts of big people food in her. She has been very picky with what she will eat. So basically for the last week she hasn't eaten any food. I am still nursing so she is getting some food. If anybody has any suggestions I would really appreciate them.
My second issue is I HAVE NOT SLEPT THROUGH THE NIGHT FOR TEN MONTHS!!! I am really tired and the eating thing is not helping because she is hungry. She gets up about two times a night to eat and then she will go back to sleep. This happens five out of seven nights...the other two nights she gets up about four to five times and is just really upset. She goes to bed without any problems it usually only takes 10 minutes max to get her down. If anybody has any ideas I would really appreciate them.
THANKS!! Sleep deprived mommy of a hungry baby.
