Well this past weekend was interesting. The surprise party for my husband went over great, he says he had no idea. Sometime before we went to bed (around 2am) he pulled me aside, hugged me and told me it was the best birthday ever. YAY!
We went to my son's soccer game that day too. They won! Yay Strikers!!
Then...dun dun DUN. Jaedyn wanted to fall asleep in her princess bed in our room. At 2am when we were finally hitting the hay, Dusty lifted her up to take her to her room and she was ON FIRE. Her temp was something over 102. We put her in a bath, gave her motrin, and it didn't help. It didn't go up, but it didn't go down either. She slept next to me and I kept check of her temp ever half hour. We gave her 4 more baths, she started vomiting, and then morning came. Her fever was lower but still not gone, so we took her to CareNow. They told us to take her on to the hospital because her symptoms were like those of appendicitis. Just before we left she threw up on the nurses shoes...nice.
We got to the ER and waited and they took test after test, gave her something for the nausea, so she finally started eating...she was SUPER dehydrated. We were at the hospital for about 4 hours, and when we left she still had a fever, but they told us it was just a nasty viral bug and to not worry, she could have a fever of 103 for up to 5 days. WHaaa???
So we took her home, gave her more motrin, another bath, and her fever broke. Her dad got her McDonalds and she seemed very happy. She slept with me again, this time no fever all night. She had a small fever of just 100 the next morning, but it went away within an hour of giving her more motrin. Then after that she was completely fine. She stayed home from school and ate and ate and wanted to ride bikes, etc. The next day I took her to school, thinking she's now better, but I'll surely get it, which is also why I had to miss my first YL club of the year, but I never did. No one in the house did. And here it is Wednesday and we're all still fine.
Weird.

Same thing happened to Colli nyesterday! 102.9 temp! I immediately took him to the doc, but he had a double ear infection, but our pedi said he was the 6th kid in that day with a high temp and there is some sort of "fever virus" going around right now... Collin was the only one who actually had an ear infection. Weird! Glad her fever broke, poor little angel!
Happy late Birthday Dusty!
