clare woke up at 445 am Thursday morning with a high fever and from then on it was up and down. on Sat. afternoon when she got up from her nap, her fever was back and she was visibly uncomfortable with her head/throat/ears. of course it was 130 and our dr. office had closed at noon...so it was off to our first official ER trip as parents. as always-clare seemed to perk up as soon as we got there. and her tylenol had kicked in so no fever. grrrrr we finally got into our "own" room, where the REAL waiting began.
we were at Toledo Hospital...and they have there own kids ER.as soon as we got in there...they brought clare a popcicle and turned on the cartoons!
she wanted nothing to do with her popcicle...but she did enjoy some goldfish.doesn't she look so tiny!!
still waiting...she cleaned out the diaper bag and found an older pacie and some medicine dispenser?!she got her ears and throat checked TWICE and then had to get a cathadar.
but she showed them...and pee'ed all over both nurses and daddy!!
that incident def. made all of us laugh a little bit after a stressful couple minutes.
all in all they sent us home after 4 hours-telling us it was viral and there is nothing we could do except push fluids and give her tylenol and motrin.
at least we got the piece of mind knowing that it was nothing too serious!
a happier pic from when she was at yaya and papa's.
