Piper

I feel like we are losing the sickness battle with Piper. When my mom watched Presley at this age, it seemed that she was never sick....of course she didn't spend 5 days a week with other germ infested kids either. Now that Piper is at Generation and has her sister to bring germs home to her, she is always catching something.
This week she has not been eating very much and she actually cried every day at dropoff, which she NEVER does. Wednesday she had 4 bad diapers (all before 10 am, resulting in a change of clothing), Thursday daycare called about 3 saying that she had woken up from her nap with what looked like hives or a rash on her legs! They said she acted fine and by the time Steve got her home, they were basically gone.
Thursday night she started coughing so when I went in to wake her up Friday morning, I was not surprised to see her cheeks bright red and a 101 fever. Steve had taken that morning off from work so he stayed with her and then took her to my mom's about noon b/c he has some work meetings to attend. She was basically hot, tired and clingy....and with the rash that would come and go?!
My mom watched them that night so we could go watch a friend of ours, Baird, play guitar at a brewery in Ankeny. We had a good time, and were able to see a lot of people that we don't normally go out with and we were home by 11:30. Piper however, did NOT sleep well. She slept with Steve in our bed and I tried to sleep on the couch. And none of us slept very much.

She woke up and didn't seem too bad, played, laughed, talked...still didn't eat and when I went to lay her down for her nap....she whined, cried and woke up multiple times! So we decided to take her to urgent care......ear infection. So at least we have an answer but I still want the fever and cough to go away and would like her to sleep thru the night!
