On Tuesday night I came home to a pretty happy Ava. I fixed her dinner and then we played. As we were playing with Ava's big puzzle, Ava's nose began to run. Ava is not one to get sick so I just thought that it was part of teething. So we went about our business and I gave her a bath and put her to bed around 7:30pm. Around 9:15pm Ava woke up screaming. I went to get her from her crib and her face was swollen like a ball and her cheeks were red as a tomato! It was so scary! I had to wait until almost 10pm to give her Tylenol.
Once I gave her Tylenol, we went into our bedroom and I put her in the pac'n'play and we watched two Disney movies. Ava would not sleep. She wanted to be on the bed and she would be perfectly fine then she would be unhappy. So finally around Midnight I put her upstairs and eventually she fell asleep. She did not wake up until 9:30am. Nanny K called and said that Ava woke up screaming, soaking wet and her face was swollen. She gave her Tylenol and she was a new little girl.
I was a little concerned about the swelling so I called the nurse. Our doctor called back and said that he could see Ava in the afternoon.
I met Nanny K at the doctors office.
Ava was running all over the office, not acting sick at all, of course. She was running all over, waving and blowing kisses and bringing me books saying "Thank you".
Finally we were called back. I told the nurse she woke up soaking wet, her face was swollen, but the swelling went down with Tylenol. So I undressed Ava getting her ready for her weigh in and I took off her diaper. There was a huge rash all over her hoo hoo area! Poor baby! I told the nurse I had never seen that before. It made me sad that not only was Ava in pain from her face swelling but now she had a rash in her diapered area.
We went to weigh Ava. Ava weighed in at 17 lbs 13 oz. Still small. Oh well.
Ava had a fever of 101. Her heart rate was a little fast, but they said that was probably from the fever.
The doctor came in and said her ears looked fine, her color was ok, and she didn't have much swelling anymore. Then he looked in her mouth, and he confirmed my worst fear. Ava is getting all 5 teeth at once! 5 teeth! Thats just crazy.
Then I mentioned the rash. The doctor looked at it and said it was a yeast infection.
Poor Ava. Not only teething but a yeast infection too.
She has been feeling better today. Poor little girl.
