On Saturday, Carmen started to spike a fever and was extremely lethargic, so off to Urgent Care we went. Her temp when we got there was 103. They said she had a sinus infection, perscribed an antibiotic and we headed home. However not more than 5 minutes in the car and Carmen was throwing up all over.
For the next 3-4 hours Carmen slept a lot and couldn't keep anything down including medicine, water, etc...... we started to get concerned because her temp was so high and we were pretty sure she wasn't getting any medicine. So we decided at 8:30 to head to the ER. When we got to the ER Carmen had a temp of 101. She was awesome as we waited in the waiting room for about 45 minutes....finally got in to see the dr. He said she definitely didn't have a sinus infection, rather just a virus and he strongly recommended stopping the antiobitic. We just have to let it takes its course We headed home. Saturday was a rough night with Carmen still fighting a fever all night long. I sat in her room from about 2-4am trying to get her to relax and calm down. Yesterday we had a low key day and Carmen seemed to be back to herself.
Due to the ongoing fever, Carmen and I are home today. She woke up with another fever this morning and seems ok, except we are now dealing with nasty diapers.
Here's how she fell asleep for her nap yesterday:
(I'm not trying to complain, rather document this for myself so I remember)
Oh the joys of parenting! Being pregnant while taking care of a sick toddler has been a lot..... and I know it's going to get even busier when the baby arrives! :-)
It's been an exhausting few days but hopefully things get better soon!
