Sick Day

Well what should have been a very routine well baby visit for Peyton turned into a 2.5 hour trip at the doctor. Peyton had been running a very low grade fever all week. She is cutting 4 teeth so I thought nothing of it. We arrived at her appointment to find she had a 103.5 fever! She was still smiling and giggling even though it was so high. They tested for the flu, NEGATIVE! They did a CBC, iron low/white count slightly up. We had to wait until her fever came down and for her to urinate. Well an hour later no pee so they had to put a catheter in. I am not much of a worrier, but this scared me. So far everything is ok and she is on antibiotics. My poor baby just keeps on smiling!

Doesn’t she look like she has a high fever??

Look how red her little cheeks and arms were. She was burning up. Poor Mama

Just chilling in her seat. Every time I could get her calm and almost asleep they would come in for another check or test. Bless her little heart.
