Lizzy's 2nd Trip. . .

to the ER was Sunday night, the same day as her first! She ended up running a fever all day (didn't get below 103) even with the Tylenol and Motrin. At 8:30pm when she ran a fever of 104.9 and she became really confused (asking for her blanket when she had it and her cup when it was right in front of her) I called her pediatrician. After talking to the emergerncy nurse and then her pediatrician they advised us to bring her back in. When we got there she was still running a high fever (despite medicine taken just an hour earlier) and they went ahead and gave her more Tylenol to get her fever down, talk about drugged up! Her fever finally came down, they tested her for the flu (which was negative) and they said the same thing the morning docs said, it was probably a virus and we needed to make sure we kept her fever under control (which we had not been able to do) and keep her hydrated. They sent us home around 12:30am with directions to make an appointment Monday with her pediatrician for a follow-up. We got home around 1:00am, put the girls to bed and Lizzy in bed with us, because we were worried the fever would go back up. Monday we made an appointment with her pediatrician and the fever was gone! Sometime in between 6:30am and 10:10am her fever broke! She was really grumpy and very stubborn yesterday, not letting me put her down all day and fighting everything we tried to do. When I got home from bible study last night (around 9:30pm) Jody was rocking her. . .apparently she would fall asleep but wake up and start "screaming bloody murder", then wake Anna up. She finally went to sleep around 10:00pm and didn't wake up until 8:00 this morning! No fever too! I think we're out of the woods with Lizzy. However Emma woke up this morning with a 100.0 temperature, not wanting to eat breakfast and laying around. . . let's hope if it is the same virus we can keep her fever under control and if Anna is going to get it, she gets it now! That's what happens when you have kids, they get sick! Mommy to the rescue. . .
