Just a cold?

Early Thursday morning, around 1, Korbyn started stirring so I went in and picked her up and she was burning up!  I checked her temperature and it was 101.7, so I gave her some Tylenol and made her a bottle.  About an hour later she woke up again so I checked her and it was still 101.5!  I felt awful because I had to go into work that morning to finish up a few things so I had to take her with me but I just kept her in the office with me.  As soon as 8 came I called to see if we could come in because she was still running a fever and FUSSY!  The soonest they had was at 10:20 so I took it.  I immediately thought it was possibly her ears again because technically she didn't finish her antibiotics because of her hives.

So we get to the dr. and she said, "well, her ears look great, it must be just a cold."  WHAT?!  Sorry, the mommy in me knows that this was not just a cold.  She wasn't even congested nor did she have a runny or stuffy nose!  She said "she looks clear, but with babies you never know, her ears could be infected tomorrow."  Great.

I figured I drove an hour to the dr. to find out it's just a cold I might as well make use of my trip.  Yvonne asked me to be a sponsor for Tye next weekend and I am in desperate need of a new dress so I went in to Macy's.  Korbyn was in a much better mood and she was watching all the clothes I was trying on and smiling at them, it was pretty funny.  Then as I was getting dressed I heard her start grunting and sure enough she filled up her britches.  So I went to go checkout and went straight to the bathroom.  Can you believe that Macy's doesn't have a baby changing station in their bathrooms!!!  So I have to go into the food court and go to that bathroom.  As I'm walking into the bathroom I look at Korbyn and notice she has something on her shirt, I bend down and realize that her poop had soaked all the way up past her belly button all the way around!  Yuck.  I go in and of course the changing station is out of liners and I used my last disposable liner I keep in the diaper bag so my only option was to use a toilet seat liner!  Trust me, if I knew nobody else would be coming in I would have used the shirt off my back, who knows that last time that thing has been cleaned!  And I'm not a germaphobe at all!  But just the thought of all those poopy hineys touching that thing gave me the creeps.

It probably only took a couple of minutes but it seemed like an eternity to me!  It was so hot in there and my hair kept getting in my face, my butt kept turning on the automatic hand dryer which made Korbyn jump every time it kicked on, people were coming in and out and walking right by us, and she literally had poop EVERYWHERE!  Thank God I always keep an extra set of clothes with me, because she definitely needed them.  I wiped her entire body down with wipes (mainly because of the poop but also because of the gross table) then I put germ-x on her hands, then wiped them again and washed my hands with hot soapy water for like 2 minutes!  I felt like we were both disgusting after that.

Then she had another blowout that couldn't be contained Friday morning.  I definitely don't think it's a cold, possibly a virus or maybe her teeth.  Please let my little girl stay healthy!!!!
