Auuurite

We had a B.I.G scare with LJ on Sunday. She was running a fever all day (about 102) and I could never get it to break. I took her to her after hours Doc and he told us she picked up a bug and to keep giving her Tylenol. We went home and I put her to bed and at 3am she woke up crying. I went to check on her and my baby was on FIRE. I checked her temp and it was a big 103.7. I gave her meds and tried to get her temp down with a cold washcloth. I laid her in bed with me and after a little bit she went back to sleep. Around 5:30am she stirred. I turned the lamp on and she was having a seizure. =(

Okay, I'm just going to jump to the end. I can't think about it. Anyway, turns out she has a kidney infection. Poor baby. She's doing fine now and hasn't had any more fevers.

UPDATE:

So I wrote the above a few days ago and never finished nor published it. We've had the fevers under control. They are no more. And she's been taking antibiotics. Well, yesterday she busted out in a rash on her belly, chest and back. I was thinking it was an allergic reaction to the antibiotic but instead it turns out to be a non-descript viral rash. It's in the same category as chicken pox or the measles but this one has no name. She got a chicken pox vaccine the week before and I'm wondering if this rash has anything to do with that. I forgot to ask that question when we were at the doc's office. Mr. A's mom is a nurse so she's going to look it up for me and let me know. It's not related to her infection or the meds she's taking. It's just another thing that we've got to deal with. Poor girl. I need to boost her immune system somehow. All of this right before a 4 day holiday. 4 for us. =) Our plans are to go camping. Mr. A bought the family a pop-up camper and we were going to break it in this weekend at High Falls. Now that she's feeling better, I think we're still going to try and go. High Falls isn't far from where we live so, if anything, we can just load up and head back home. On that note, I need to be packing. Happy Labor Day Weekend!
