Poor Isabella had been sick for a couple weeks with a cold/allergies or whatever. Well, this past week she started running a fever. We took her in to the doctor on Monday and they decided that it was probably just a virus and to use Ibuprofen/Tylenol to control the fever. By Wednesday, she didn't seem to be getting any better, so we contacted the doctor and they called a prescription in on the off-chance that it was a UTI and/or strep. So we started that with Isabella on Wednesday and she seemed to be doing a little better. Then came Thursday night/early Friday morning. She woke up fussing and when I went in, she was burning up. About 5:30am, her temperature read 105.4. We decided that we had no choice but to take her to the ER. We got there and her temperature had gone down some, thankfully. They checked her out and ran some tests (not fun getting the things they needed for those tests!) and everything came back normal. Great! The ER Dr came back in and talked to us told us that yes, it really looked to be a virus. He advised us to continue with the antibiotic that our Primary Care Dr prescribed. They gave her an IV and she seems to have bounced back pretty well. She's still not eating great, but she's eating. Here are a few pictures from our day at the hospital (sorry about the quality, they were from my phone).
Her poor little arm strapped to a "board" so she wouldn't bend it
Sitting on her Daddy's lap watching TV - of course, the only kids show we could find was Spongebob, which I can't stand, but it kept her occupied
She would finally lay in the bed by herself after they hooked up the IV and brought her a popsicle
