ER- round 2
Little Miss Celia is really giving me a run for my money! She was having a lovely day yesterday, being totally normal for the most part. During swim class, she felt really warm, but I assumed it was because she was in a 90 degree room. I gave her tylenol just in case, but forgot about it. Then, last night as James was laying her down, she started shaking. Totally body, uncontrollable shaking. I sprinted in there, grabbed her, and got her to my bathroom, when she promptly threw up. She was on fire, so I took a quick temp and it was 101.9 . Called my cousin, who conviently lives across the street, because her son has had seizures in the past, she came over and I called the doctor. She told me to go to the ER for two reasons, One was that she is already on antibiotics for this never ending ear infection and that you don't just spike a temp that high in minutes when you're on meds like that. The other reason was that we just want to make sure there are no other illnesses causing this. By the time James and I got her to the ER and had her temp taken again, she was 103.6 , which is the highest temp any of my kids has ever had. Long story short, the combination of the Ibprofin I gave her and the Tylenol they gave her got the fever down, she had a urine test to check for a UTI, and they checked her ears and she was fine. No idea what caused it, but it was very scary. We got home around midnight, she woke up three times, and got up for the day at 5:45. So I know that there are misspellings, but forgive me because of the lack of sleep. Thank god she is okay, but I hope that doesn't happen ever again!
