Our morning in the ER..

Blah.. I will start by saying she is fine BUT.. what a night!


On Saturday maddie stayed at my Mom's. About 11:30 she called and said Maddie threw up, felt hot and had been crying for about an hour. We go get her.. I take her temp and it's 101.3. I assume it's due to teething and all is well. We get her home and she sleeps on and off until 8:30am. She seemed fine all morning. She was a little crabby but again.. I assumed teething. 

After her nap she felt burning hot. Her temp was 102.7 and I started to get worried. I gave her a cool bath. She is also refusing to eat and drink anything. She went to bed at 6:30.. about 2:15am she wakes up screaming. She is REALLY hot and throws up on me when I take her out of the crib. Her temp is 103.9. I decide it's time to take her to the ER. (look at me using my Mommy instincts)


The ER is the worst experience of my entire life. They had to give her a catheter, IV, chest X-ray and draw blood. Just thinking about it gives me chillbumps. She was sooo tired and just over it at this point BUT.. she's a trooper. All the tests came back negative. The Dr. said it was most likely a viral infection. She had red rashes all over her legs, cheeks and ears.

Right before the hospital discharged us the nurse brought in a little teddy bear. She had a bottle of pedialyte that she was trying to feed the bear. It was the CUTEST thing EVER! She also kept giving the bear hugs. 

She seems to be better now. No fever, just SUPER needy and tired. We have been watching cartoons all morning and rocking in her room. It's kinda sad but having her lay on me is so sweet. I know she feels icky but it's so cute to know her Momma can make it all better. 

She's sleeping now. I hope she takes a LONG nap. She really needs it.
