There's really no other way to put it
Miss Emery has been sick now since last week
Temperature since last Friday.
Took her to the doc Sunday.......Mother's Day
Got Meds........second round.......different antibiotic than the first
Temp disappeared for a short time and thought meds were working
HA! That's what ya get when you think........just don't do it
Wakes up this morning and temp is 102 degrees again....Gggrrr
Screaming......lots of screaming......won't stop screaming
My Poor Baby.........I know something is wrong......really wrong
Head to Immediate care @ Dr's office before they open
She gets to see her regular PCP. Yea!!!
Long story short....she thinks she has Meningitis and tells us to go straight to St. Francis hospital to have a spinal tap done and they will be waiting for us when we get there
-Kennedy is at preschool and goes home with a friend.........thank you Shari and Jill :) We love you
-Gentry is with Emery and I
-Dana meets us there
-Get checked in to E.R. asap
-NO WAITING
-Attending Dr. says he would like to avoid spinal tap and eliminate some other things first
*They think she has a bad Urinary Tract Infection and extract urine.......comes back clean
*Worried about pneumonia and do chest x-ray.......comes back clear
*Worried about RSV and extract sinus fluid........comes back negative
*Do blood work.......takes 24 hrs so don't know anything yet
*Has "RAGING" ear infection as the Dr. puts it
*Decide not to do spinal tap b/c its major and Dr. isn't certain she has it
*Has a HUGE dose of some crazy antibiotic and fluids through I.V.
*Get sent home with new medicine
*Strict instructions to return to E.R. if she becomes lethargic
*Go see PCP again tomorrow
Basically we were told she was definitely sick.......but with what we don't know
Could be a bad virus
We are just hoping and praying she gets better soon
This is not our Sweet Little Emery and we want her back...healthy and happy
Hope she gets to feeling better! Don't you just wish you could read their mind or if they could talk and tell you!!
