First trip to the Emergency Room

Harper started feeling sick on Halloween.  By Saturday morning,
her cough had intensified and she had developed a fever. 
I took her to the doctor, they diagnosed an ear infection and started an antibiotic.  On Sunday night, she still had a fever despite taking Tylenol and Motrin around the clock.
We could see she was miserable, so we decided to go to the Emergency Room.
They did a lot of tests and a chest x-ray.  They confirmed that she does have a
pretty severe ear infection and also bronchitis.  They gave her an antibiotic injection, a breathing treatment, and some pain relieving ear drops.  She's feeling a bit better today, but still has a bad cough, a fever, a runny nose and a stuffy head.  
If she still has a fever tomorrow, we will head back to the doctor again.
Poor baby-- just doesn't feel well!
Although she wasn't feeling well, Harper was pretty tolerant 
of all of the tests and procedures done at the hospital.
As you can see, Zebra came along too!
