Cam's 3 year stats...well-child appointment, plus a few extra in May

I ended the school year with only 7.25 sick days left to use...and that had a lot to do with my little Camryn in May.

Five days before her well-child appointment, she came down with a fever on a Wednesday night. And then it happened again on Friday. Then again on Sunday during the afternoon - and she woke up so miserable from her nap, complaining that her "cheek hurt", that we made a little trip to Urgent Care to make sure it wasn't her ears.

A pretty uncomfortable little girl.

No diagnosis except that she was fighting some virus at this point, and that it would be good to follow-up at her well-child appointment the next day.
Cashed out on the way home.

Monday we went to her well-child appointment, and while her lymph nodes were swollen, and we were told she needed to start taking allergy medicine, things looked okay.

Cam's 3-year stats (which were the exact same as Taylor's!)
Weight: 31.8 lbs (61st percentile)
Height: 37.5 in (65th percentile) 

Tuesday after daycare, I gave her a bath and she cried anytime I even brushed my fingers over her neck, and cried while I was brushing her teeth because she said it hurt. The picture says it all. :(


After some chatting with our favorite NP through Facebook Tuesday night, she thought we should go back into the doctor's office. Her lymph node on one side was really big and swollen by Tuesday night, and these fevers had popped up for almost a week at that point.

So Wednesday, we went back in and saw Dr. Shook.

 Because of the size and discomfort of Cam's lymph nodes, he sent us over to Holland Hospital for some blood work.

Luckily and happily, nothing was abnormal with her blood work other than things that were elevated which would be expected because of the swelling in her body and the fevers over the past week.

My mom came and spent that afternoon with Cam so I could go back to work, and while she was there, she had a little fun setting up Tay's room as a surprise when she got home from daycare. :)


And, after all that, with some good antibiotics on board, Cam was feeling like herself again.


And I was thankful that summer break was around the corner, and hoping for healthy days the rest of the school year! :)
