So this wasn't a very happy 4th of July for us. Bella started getting a fever on Tuesday afternoon and we finally had to take her to the ER on Friday morning, after her fever kept breaking and then coming back. Nora insisted we take her to the INOVA ER in Alexandria where she works, so that was nice since she knew the doctors and nurses. Everyone there was so happy they finally got to meet the beautiful niece Nora keeps raving about. We finally saw Dr. Meltzer, who said Bella had an ear infection and then prescribed us some Amoxicillin for it. She is such a trooper when it comes to taking medicine (probably because it's really fruity and tastes nothing like grown up medicine), but she started to develop a little allergic reaction to it. She began to get tiny bumps on her face, so i was really starting to worry. Nora assured me that she was fine and that we didn't need to take her back to the ER. She was absolutely right - by the next day, her rash was completely gone and she's been fine ever since! And although this was the first time Bella has ever been really sick in 14 months, i am so thrilled to finally have my happy Bella back! Here are a few pictures of our trip to the ER and some of our 4th of July.
