Ear today, gone tomorrow

So, took Ryah Bear to the doctor. Here's the update: She's got an ear infection. Her fever was 99.7, and she was pretty darn listless at the doctor's office. He said the ear infection could explain the vomiting, so she's on antibiotics for the next 10 days. If the vomiting continues after that, then we'll look into a possible food allergy. She threw up again last night, but hopefully this will be the last time.

I gave her a dose of the antibiotics and some tylenol for her fever last night, and by morning she was a much happier little girl.

Thanks for your thoughts...let's just hope the vomiting goes away...

Poor little girl! I'm glad they figured out what it is so you can take care of it. That is the worse when you don't know what is wrong. The pictures are so beautiful. I love the video of Ryah walking, that will be Caitlyn soon.

Poor Ryah. Ethan went through a similar thing with fevers, vomiting and diareah. He ended up being allergic to milk. So we switched to SOY then 8 months later he became intolerant of SOY and is now on Rice Milk.

Hope she gets better.
