I had to take Emma Grace to the doctor yesterday. She felt a little warm when I went to lay her down for her nap, so I checked her fever and it was 101.6. I waited about 30 minutes and checked it again, and it was 103. I called Grammy, and she said she would be right over. I told her I was calling the doctor to see if he could see her this afternoon. I called, and they said to have her there by 4:30. Grammy came immediately, and we headed to Monroe. We walked in the dr's office, and it was FULL. Grammy took Emma Grace back out to the vehicle, and I waited for them to call her back. We were finally called back about 5:30. They took blood, and did a flu test. Her white count was low, but the flu test was negative. The dr. said it was a virus just like last time. He said it had to run its course. He said it was so much going around right now. We left and went to get her some ice cream. I decided to run in Wal-Mart and get some Tylenol, so we could go ahead and give her some. I didn't take it with me, because I never thought we would be there as long as we were. When I came out, we checked Emma Grace's fever and it was 104. I called the dr's office and they said to go to the after hours clinic which iis n the same building as her dr. We went by there to get them to check her fever to make sure out thermometer was correct, and it was. They gave her Motrin and told us to wait about 15 minutes and they would check it again. They said we really didn't need to travel with her with that high of fever. They checked it again and it was 103.2. They said to wait another 15 minutes. Emma Grace was just lying in Grammy's arms, and I was freaking out. They gave us a wet towel to wipe her down, and we took her out to the vehicle because it was warm in the office. I went to the bathroom and by the time I came back Emma Grace was sitting up talking and watching Nemo. We knew her fever was coming down. They checked it and it was 102. They said she was fine to travel. We left and she back to herself. She talked and laughed the whole way home. We have given her another round of Tylenol and she is due Motrin in an hour. She is so sleepy, but will not give it up. She is running around the living room playing. I have a MAJOR headache. The kind of headache that you have when you have fever, and guess what, I checked my temp and I have 100.5. Well, I guess I better try to get Emma Grace to sleep. I will let you know how she feels later on today.
