Urgent Care

We started off our morning with a trip to Urgent Care.  Reese had a fever last night, but we brought it down with Ibuprofen.  Unfortunately this morning the Ibuprofen was not working and her temp was staying up at 105 and she was acting lethargic.  I called the nurse line and they said Reese should be seen within 2 hours. 

So I quickly brushed my teeth, changed my clothes, and headed out the door.  This was not an easy task -- I put Emmy in her car seat (keep in mind that she HATES her car seat), carried Reese (who was basically limp and half asleep) downstairs where she threw up all over her clothes, put new jammies on Reese (left my shirt on which had just a little bit of puke), put both girls in the car, and sped our of the neighborhood.

We were at Urgent Care for 2 hours!  Luckily Reese fell asleep on the examining table twice and Emmy was a very good girl.  Reese was given some Tylenol which did finally bring down her fever to 102.  She was tested for strep and a urinary tract infection, and both test results were negative.  The doctor think she just has the "crud" that is going around.  We just have to keep her cool, hydrated, and rested for the next 24-48 hours and hope she recovers.  Feel better my little Reesie-Pie!

Reese always seems to spike a really high fever when she's sick.  Her temp would even get to the scary level of 105 when she used to cut teeth.  It scares me every time!

To top off the day, when Daddy came home he asked me, "Did you know you can see through your pants?"  Great.  I must have been quite the sight earlier today struggling to carry two crying little girls into Urgent Care (since I also did not have the stroller in the car - ugh!) all while you could see my polka dot underware.  At least we didn't see anyone I know.

Oh, and happy 4 month birthday to Emmy!  Sorry you had to spend your special day at Urgent Care!
