On our last day in Disneyland Reagan started to get a little bit of a runny nose and by Saturday she had a pretty bad cough. She wasn't running a fever and was a trooper during travel day. Sunday she was pretty lethargic and her cough was a bit worse but still no fever. So I said if she wasn't any better this morning I would call the doctor.
Knock on wood, Reagan has been a healthy baby and has only had a fever ONCE in her two years of life. She's only had very minor colds and never even acted sick where I even thought to call the doctor, so this was kinda worrisome.
Well today, she woke up about the same so I decided to give them a call. I talked to a nurse and described her symptoms. She said the doctor may want to see her but they were pretty swamped with all the nasty bugs going around. I said, "Well that's the thing, with no fever, I don't really want to bring her in and expose her to all the other nasty stuff if this is something he thinks we can ride out." She said she would talk to the doctor and give me a call back. She called me back in an hour and thankfully, he called in some cough syrup and we didn't have to go to the germy doctor! We're just supposed to keep an eye on her and if she isn't improving by Wednesday or gets a fever we have to bring her in. Fingers crossed! Today's picture is of Reagan's first ever prescription medicine. Feel better, baby girl! ♥
