She was pretty grumpy and lethargic all Saturday and her fever stuck around. Our doctor recommended we wait 24 hrs to see how she felt by Sunday. Sunday started out OK but by 5pm, her fever was almost 105 and her poor little heart was beating fast to try to cool her off. We immediately decided it was time to take her to the ER.
Spending 6 hrs in the ER was heart wrenching. Our poor, innocent little Maddie was poked and squeezed and bothered repeatedly. I cried a lot and Eric said that seeing Maddie in pain was making him feel sick.
After lots of tests, shots and meds, Maddie's fever finally started to come down and she was completely recovered by Wednesday. She didn't have the flu, or any other sickness that could be found. According to her pediatrician, she must have come in contact with a virus and her strong immune system tried really hard to fight it, which made her fever get so high.
We're glad our happy, energetic baby is back and we hope she doesn't get that sick again for a really long time.
Our poor little babe:
