Fever, Chapter 2

*********
UPDATE- That didn't last long. She threw up the second antibiotic as well. So we plan to see her pediatrician tonight.

I just don't want her to get dehydrated and end up in the hospital or ER in the middle of the night.

Well, the antibiotics didn't settle well on her tummy and she threw it up last night... and all night long and again this morning...

So after waiting many hours today, she got a new antibiotic and hopefully is on the road to recovery. The good news- she had no fever this afternoon.

She is sleeping fine, eating crackers, applesauce and drinking Pedialyte. Hopefully she will be a completely different person in 24 hours from now...

Thank you for your thoughts, prayers and words of encouragement.

It's times like these that you question your parenting skills.

Don't question your parenting skills...you are a SUPER mom! Little bodies are just funky and mysterious sometimes. Kudos for following your instincts that something was wrong and taking GBK to the doctor ASAP. Hope she gets to feeling better soon and that you have some peace of mind and spirit. :)
