I took Hailey for her 2 month checkup on Wednesday and the doctor found that her right ear was infected (yes again!) I never would have known. She did still have congestion and it went from being a runny nose to thick and green. Yuck, I know. He prescribed another anitbiotic, Augmentin. According to my sister-in-law Jessica, who is a doctor with Moses Cone, it's some pretty rough stuff. It really messes with the G.I. tract. Well Wednesday night, Hailey vomited, twice all over me. My thinking was that it was the Augmentin causing it. The next day I talked to a nurse and she seemed to think it was a combination of everything she got Wednesday (4 vaccines + antibiotic for ear infection). She told me to split up the doses of the antibiotic so there wasn't so much in her system at a time. So far it's working. She hasn't vomited since that night. She seems to be feeling alot better. The downside? The Augmentin is giving her terrible gas!!! The last few days she had been napping GREAT. Didn't have to go in and re-plug her paci but maybe once or twice all day and was taking solid 1 1/2 hour naps. Today has been awful. She's waking 3 or 4 times during her naps just trying to push that gas out. And she's got 7 more days of the antibiotic!! Ugghh. Hopefully after this she'll be all better, finally. Poor girl.
