So to continue from the last post M woke up on Thursday at 6 am with a fever of 104.7 and was vomiting. I was able to control the fever and get her comfortable until we went back to see the Dr.
When we arrived at the Dr's office her regular pediatrician took a look at her right away (yay for no wait). Also, the pediatrician who saw her on Wednesday was there to take a look at her. Neither one liked what they saw. Apparently the 2 shots of Rosefen she was given on Wednesday did not work, our Dr. recommended that we take her to the ER for IV antibiotics. She called ahead and they had a bed waiting for her. So off we went to the ER where they gave her an IV for dehydration and antibiotics. The nurse had to try 3 different places before she was able to get the IV in. My poor little girl was such a trooper!
She was pretty uncomfortable Thursday night, all she wanted to do was watch Animal Planet. I guess there was something comforting about watching the ugliest dog contest on TV. When she woke up Friday morning she still had a fever, but she was looking better. Her highlight on Friday was a visit from one of her friends. He brightened her spirits and made her giggle! Laughter truely was the best medicine for her.
Finally Saturday morning they said she was well enough to go home, she had a low grade fever, but they pinpointed the infection and helped control it. She had such a good experience in the hospital, all the nurses and doctors enjoyed having her. I guess that's a perk to being the only pediatric patient on her floor.
J and I were so exausted from the whole ordeal. We were all ready to go home and sleep in our own
beds!
