Meghan's sick

Poor sweetie has an ear infection and viral pharyngitis...it started last night while at "The Wiggles" concert...you could feel her getting warmer...we got her home and after one hour of having Motrin in her she was still at 102.8 for a temp. I got her to bed (finally and with MJ's help) and she was up at 3am...she was crap for sleeping for the rest of the night. I checked her temp again this morning and it was 103. She got another dose of Motrin and when Daddy stopped in to check on her and I this afternoon she just looked horrible...so off to the peds we went where he made the diagnosis. He said that while it is possible that it is Hand/Foot/Mouth disease (aka Coxsackies), it's not treatable with antibiotics either, so he's going to lean towards the pharyngitis.

She is on antibiotics for the ear infection and has projectile vomited 3 times now since 5pm. She's in bed (she's already been up once) and will hopefully get a little sleep.
