We ended up taking Eve to the pediatrician again on Saturday. Although her cough is gone, she still is congested and has a runny nose. She was totally cranky on Friday and Saturday and nothing would please her. We wanted to check for possible ear infections, etc. However, the regular pediatrician was not in the office, so we saw his partner. She didn't find any signs of infection and told us to monitor Eve and give her saline nose drops. I suspect we will be returning by the end of the week. Eve just can't shake colds the way a healthy person can. Fortunately, she's been in a better mood. Hopefully the regular doc will be in if we need to go back.
Eve's getting so big I just can't believe it. Oh, and let me track another symptom. This weekend we noticed that Eve was freaking out on her changing table. She looked scared and put her arms out in a startle reflex a couple of times. Once, we had to change her on the floor because she was crying so bad on the changing table. It reminds me of when she stopped being comfortable in the shopping cart and also of when she stopped being comfortable sitting up in the bathtub. She's afraid she will fall. I'm wondering if her sense of balance is off from congestion. Maybe it's also disease progression. She is sick after all. Perhaps this is a neurological regression. I'll have to mention it to the Docs. Eve's teacher noticed today that she cried during diaper changes. I'll fill her in on my suspicions.
Otherwise all else is well. We finally have some good sleeping weather this week and the temps are supposed to make it out of the 80's. Yay!
