Christmas!

We spent Christmas in Evansville again this year. Friday night the 23, we went to Bloomington to have a family christmas. While at my sisters house Raegan's eyes started getting red and her nose was runny. We started to think she is like her father and allergic to cats. Christmas Eve we drove to Evansville, had lunch with my grandma, Raegan made cookies for Santa, and we went to church. We stopped and got Raegan some childrens Benadryl for her allergies. Her eyes were really red, goopy and starting to swell. Her nose was running like a faucet but she was acting fine and like nothing was bothering her. When we got home from church she left carrots out for the reindeer and cookies and milk for Santa. Our Elf on the Shelf, Chippey, even made the trip so she said goodnight to him and that she would see him next year, as he was riding with Santa back to the North Pole.

Christmas morning Raegan woke up so excited for presents. She got lots of toys and clothes. Her favorite is probably a choo choo train that my grandma got her, her new "baby Grace" baby dolls, and her Melissa and Doug puzzles and shape game.

After playing with her toys it was lunchtime and meltdown central. It was 2pm this time and she was ready for a nap. So I went and rocked her to sleep and she didn't eat the yummy Christmas dinner my Grandma made. I woke her up 2 hours later so we could go to my other grandmothers house for another Christmas celebration. She felt warm but didn't think much of it because she is a very hot sleeper. Her eyes though, were extremely red and puffy. All around her eyes too. We got to my other grandmothers and she was having fun playing with all of her cousins. About an hour and half later it was present time. She came and sat on my lap and just looked miserable. She had no interest in presents. After she opened a couple of her presents she told me her tummy hurt. I just assumed she was hungry since she hadn't eaten all day. We went into the bathroom to go potty and she just put her head of my shoulder for a few minutes. I thought she was ready to fall asleep. As soon as we came out of the bathroom she puked her milk that she had just drank all over me, down my shirt, all over my bra, down my pants, down her shirt. I ran her back to the sink where she kept puking. Being 19 weeks pregnant the smell of curdled milk being puked up made me start dry heaving too. I thought I was going to get sick. I changed her clothes, said some quick goodbyes and Ryan drove us back to my other grandmas house. Ryan stayed with her while I showered and started a load of laundry then he went back to the Christmas party.

We spent Christmas night rocking and watching Cartoons. She ate a popsicle and started to perk up a little bit. By bedtime she seemed better. We just assumed it was a combination of not eating, taking benadryl, it being unbelievably hot in the house, and the milk. We weren't worried about her getting sick anymore. At 1am I woke up to check on her and she was on fire. I took her temp and it was 102.7. I woke her up to give her tylenol and she slept the rest of the night. She woke up in the morning fine. She played all morning and was being her silly, goofy self. We packed up the car after lunch and headed home. She stayed awake the whole 4 hour drive, while I slept! We got home, she still wouldn't eat. This is now day 4 of her not eating. She's never been a good eater but she eats more than she was. She went to bed with a 101.4 fever. She woke up this morning with her eyes matted shut with gunk and wouldn't stop crying. I called her doctor but they said they didn't see patients for pink eye and blew off the ear infection part. Instead of waiting on a call back from the nurse I went ahead and took her to urgent care which is connected to her dr office. As we were checking in her pediatrician saw us and said she would see her right then. She has her first ear infection and possible pink eye. She wasn't convinced it was pink eye and thinks its more just drainage from her ear infection. But she gave us Amoxicillian and eye drops. $85 eye drops, for just 3 days of drops! They better be made of gold or something. We were also given a new allergy med for when she is at a house with cats.

As soon as she got some Tylenol and the first dose of meds she is back to good ol Raegan. She has had so much fun all day playing with all of her toys from Christmas. The house is a mess, it looks like a toy store threw up in here. I better go clean it before Ryan gets home.
