Friday Madison had a fever of 104.5 degrees F. I was freaking out. flashbacks of the hospital made me want to vomit!
She felt slightly warm so I checked and she was 100.9 and it shot up to 102.7. I gave her Tylenol and checked her again 3 hours later after her nap and she was 104.5. I called the Dr. he said I could alternate Advil and Tylenol every three hours. she wasn't throwing up so I was trying to avoid the hospital. I of course didn't sleep and she laid on my chest all night as I held her. every three hours I woke her to give her something. her fever never dropped below 100.9 degrees F. Saturday she wouldn't sleep didn't want to eat but thank good she was drinking.
When we were in the hospital I made sure she understood what an IV was and what caused it. Therefore, when I handed her a drink and she shook her head I said "Owwie! IV!" and tapped the mark on her had and foot saying, "if you don't drink." She drank! that's horrible to scare your child into doing something but the end results would have been the hospital.
Sunday her fever broke and she napped a short while but was a bit clingy. The sitter said her son is sick... what can I do I cannot keep missing work when her kids are sick and Madison. I found a sitter to come to my house for the day. I am extremely nervouse about this but the poor thing was up three times last night and had a runny nose when she woke. she sounded awful.
I made another Dr appointment. I swear if they tell me this is a VIRUS I may flick him in the forehead or kick him!
Supposively this is not normal as children do get sick, but 3 trips to the hospital in 1 month and the last one was 8 days is not normal. I'm questioning if allergies could do this. I wonder if she's that allergic to dogs. I have my suspicions but this is ridiculous!
