Mystery bug

Well...Becky has been home sick most of the week with strange symptoms. She had to be picked up from day care early on Monday because of fever, and then she vomited. Poor thing! Stayed home with me on Tuesday with a mild fever. No vomiting. Woke up at 1:30 a.m. on Wednesday with a fever of 103. Took some medicine. No fever when she woke up at 9 a.m. Had a great day. Played hard, hung out, had fun. Figured it must have been some sort of flu bug and she would be able to go back to day care on Thursday. Threw up out of nowhere at 4 p.m. on Wednesday and again at 4:30 p.m. Too late to get into the doctor, so decided to just stay home one more day. Wednesday night my dad came over to visit and give Becky her Valentine's present. Was running around being silly and having fun. No signs of fever or sickness at all. Ate pizza for supper and had candy and kept everything down. Slept through the night. Woke up at 9 a.m. on Thursday. Threw up at 9:30 a.m. Called the doctor to get an appointment. Went to the doctor. It's an ear infection!! The tube in her left ear has fallen out and her eardrum is all red and swollen. (The doctor thought the vomiting was probably just due to drainage from the ear infection.) Not ear infections again! I am hopeful that this is just a one-time thing. She got some medicine (which she only seems to be able to take if she is bribed with candy) and hopefully it will get better soon. If they seem to be recurrent again, we will have to head back to the ENT to see about getting tubes put in again. Al is home with her today and they seemed to be having a good time when I called. She was very excited to be watching Shrek the Third for the 20th time and hanging out with her daddy.
