Sick Baby Girl

So as I mentioned back in our Thanksgiving post, both kids have been sick off and on for a few weeks. Typically Brayden gets sick first and then as soon as he is starting to feel better, Brooklyn gets sick, and then if it is really bad, Dan and I get sick too. This makes for a long process before we are all feeling better! Anyway, so they had colds, then a virus, but Brooklyn just wasn't seeming to get better. After riding it out for awhile, we finally decided to take Brooklyn to the doctor and it turns out that her virus had settled into a sinus infection. The doctor put her on Amoxicillin (first time on antibiotic) and we started her first dose that evening at dinner. Well to say we had a rough night was an understatement....Brooklyn had an allergic reaction to the Amoxicillin and broke out in a rash and hives all over. We took Brooklyn back to the doctor first thing in the morning when they opened and are so grateful that the allergic reaction did not affect her breathing. Praise God! So after monitoring her for a little while, we headed back home with a new antibiotic and Zyrtec for the allergic reaction. 

Sick baby girl being a trooper. Watery eyes from her sinus infection.

Back at the doctor to monitor her reaction to the Amoxicillin - worn out!

Getting some fresh air.
