Another Dr appt, for Lauren this time...

Yes, we were just there on Monday.  She had an ear infection and something white on her tonsils.  They gave her Amoxicillan.  It had been almost 3 days on the med and she was getting worse, not better.  I called the Dr this morning to tell them that her cough had gotten worse and she was now gagging and throwing up with it.  Of course they had to see her.  Sigh.  So I had to drive all the way back up to Kazoo and pay another $20 copay, and ANOTHER $20 for the stronger meds they gave her.

She still has her ear infection, the first med didn't help it at all.  The white on her tonsils seems to be a bit better, but they still don't know what it was.  They tested for strep and thrush, but both were negative.  Hopefully the Zithro they put her on will help with all of it. 

I just want my girls to be healthy.

Lilli is doing pretty good on her new diet.  No chocolate and no fried foods.  No eating 2 hours before bedtime.  Her stomach hasn't been bothering her at all.  She did say yesterday at lunch that it burned a bit, so we aren't sure if it was the pickle or the pretzel stick in her lunch.  I'm betting the pickle but she doesn't want to admit that...she loves pickles.  We are going to skip pickles for a time until we know for sure.

The weather is great and Lilli is outside with her Papa.  One of our piglets is sick so they are giving him meds.  I'm sure he got horribly stressed-out from the auction day runaround.  I don't think we are going to buy from the auction anymore.  I think there is a place about 15 miles from here that we can piglets from.  We are going to look into that so we can avoid the sickness and stress from the auctions.

I took pictures of all our critters yesterday.  I'll try to upload them tonight if Lauren is feeling ok.  It's hard to do it with her on my lap :)

This sound just about like my 6 year old son. He had what we initially thought was strep, but no, then came down with upper respiratory thing with an ear infection. He has had a fever for 18 out of the last 23 days. He may have mono. We will see an Infectious Disease Dr. hopefully tomorrow. Tests for mono were inconclusive. Just thought this might give you a heads up if it continues. Praying for health!
