It’s not a family vacation until someone gets sick

When we left for Fl a week ago Bennett had been sick for the better part of a week (let’s be real she actually almost has a stuffy nose in large part to big sister in Mother’s Day out. ) but before leaving she seemed healthy. We got here, I left for a bachelorette party and hoped for the best. When I got back my mom told me she had been up the night while I was gone.

I thought she was exaggerating… but low and behold I came home Sunday night to a very fussy and clingy baby. And then the fever came and I thought it must be teeth… until I actually took her temp. 103. On and off for 2 days. Poor girl! Luckily we have a great pediatrician in dallas who I called and they recommended I got in to just make she’s doesn’t need antibiotics.

My parents live on the north end of palm beach island and the closest pediatric urgent care is over half an hour away. 🙈 so b and I made the drive up to Palm Beach Gardens to a great children’s urgent care, Jack Nicklaus Children’s Outpatient Center. We got in there and it was clean and they were so sweet with baby B. I totally recommend this place if you need to take your child to the doctor on vacation in palm beach county or even if you live locally! Thankfully it is just a double ear infection and nothing serious and also lucky we were able to get it treated before flying home in a few days.

Thanks to the Doctor we saw and some amoxicillin, Benny boo will be back to her happy self in a few days! But until she is I’m going to soak up all the baby snuggles I can. It’s so messed up but sick babies are so cuddly it’s so sweet.
