Today was eventful. My 2 year old daughter came down with a moderate fever last night. We filled her with the usual tylenol and a temped bath and it came down. To bed she went were she slept through the night, but woke up early back up in the 101/102 range. She was playing and happy all day with her moderate temp until finally about 2 o' clock I went back to her room to check on her because she had been playing in there most of the day and what do I find in the middle of the hall way, Buggy! She had taken her diaper off (something she does often as we are in the middle of potty training) and was laying face down on the floor. I of course had a heart attack and quickly ran to her. She popped right up and said "diaper mommy...my back hurts" After taking her temperature for the 10oth time I made the decision that it was time for the ER. We get there and immediatly they start taking temperatures, asking questions, and feeling her neck and back. She hates every min and couldn't help but let us know. She is a daddy's girl so of course daddy had to hold her the entire time. I love watching him with her. They decide that because she had been complaining about her back hurting that maybe it was a kidney infection so they needed a urine sample. Its not like they can just hand a unpotty trained two year old a cup and say go pee in this. What that m
eans is a small catheter is place in the bladder to get the urine. Wow oh wow was she not happy and I can't say that I blame her. Luckily it was quick and easy, but they still had an x-ray they wanted. Daddy went with her and it was over in a flash. They found a upper respitory virus and a possible urinary tract infection. They prescribed some medicine and sent her home with (in her words) a siclepop and a beanie baby. She was happy camper and seemed to perk right up when told she could say buh bye. We are home and she still has a moderate fever, but she's in a great mood running all over in nothing but her diaper and eating all the sisclepops she wants. Anyone have any suggestions how to get rid of a fever. We are doing tylenol and temped baths, but it keeps popping back up.
