I mentioned in the previous post that Callie Beth had been sick. Well, it didn’t get better. We had our first trip to the emergency room Sunday night when her fever got to 105. We tried everything to get it down but it kept climbing. She was in and out of sleep, just crying. She wasn’t responding like normal and her pupils were like pin drops. It felt like her heart was going to pop out of her chest it was beating so fast. She would just stare at me with this look I never want to see again.
She was such a strong, brave little girl. But there were times when she would tell the nurse “No, I’m done! Out!” Or the nurse would walk in and she would just start saying “owie” before she even touched her. She was so tired and didn’t want to take any more medicine. She did get lots of Dora stickers!
It could have been the H1N1 flu but this was day 6 of being sick and it was too late to do anything about it. They had trouble reading her x-rays because she was turned but they say it could be a slight tough of pneumonia. They treated her for an upper repository infection. We left the hospital 4 hours later when her fever was down to 102.9. Long night!
She was feeling a little better but boy a pain to live with. LOTS of crying and whining (which is not like her). And if she didn’t get her way, she acted like the world ended. I knew something wasn’t right. This is not our child :) We had to go to a follow up appointment with her pediatrician yesterday. I am glad we went because it turns out that she now has an ear infection. That explains a lot. She was already on meds but she took her last dose yesterday. We just have to continue it two more days. If our sweet little girl isn’t back by Monday, we have to go back in. Keep your fingers crossed!
Here is a picture from the E.R. Bless her heart!
