Phoebe had a fever for a week starting the Monday after Thanksgiving. This is how she looked everyday. Henry loved it because there was a lot of cuddling and lying around. But poor little Phoebe was not herself at all. She was so sad and sick. She started off with some crusty stuff in her eyes and the whites were slightly discolored. That was apparently some sort of virus which led to a double ear infection and a very sore throat with big red bumps. She took antibiotics for the ear infection, but nothing could help her throat except time. She couldn't eat very well because of all of the pain. It was the saddest thing to watch. I'm sure I seemed like a lunatic, but I called the doctor every day because I didn't know how long she was supposed to have a fever or not eat, etc. She got better, but not completely. She didn't start feeling totally better until after she was home for a few days during Christmas break because although the sore throat and ear infection eventually went away, she had this lingering cough and congestion that it turns out was a sinus infection. We went to the doctor for that on Dec. 20 and she got another antibiotic, and it seemed to clear up within a few days. Now, however, she seems like she is getting another cold--so she had about a week illness-free.
