Arlee's first sickness

Last week Arlee wasn't sleeping very well and I was to the point of just leaving her in her room to cry it out.  I had it!  I felt really bad, but after two days of little sleeping and the third day being of no sleep by 3AM I woke Hans up and asked him to take her.  He was great to take her for me so I could finally get some sleep.  I could do anything but cry and that is what I do with no sleep.  Arlee was so tired and everything, but too sick to fall asleep.  She had a runny nose and a little cough for about two weeks, but it was enough.  I told Hans that I was going to take her to the doctor if not for anything, but a piece of mind.  I took her to the doctor in the morning and he looked at her ears and they were fine, he looked for signs of teething and no teething, he looked at her throat and said that it was a little red and then he tested her for strep and it was negative.  What was wrong with my little baby then?  He said that she might have a sinus infection, but the only way that they could test for it would be to stick a needle in her face or a catscan.  Her doctor told me some other things, but lost me after he said that she would start feeling better by taking the prescription.  I was so glad that there was going to be a solution to all the problems that she was having. 
I got Arlee's prescription filled and gave it to her and she has been feeling a lot better.  I am so thankful for medicine and doctors who know how to give a mommy some much needed sleep.  Thank you Doctor Harris!!! : )
