Sickness

We have had a long couple days! On Saturday night Delani started running a temp. I gave her some Tylenol and didn't really think much of it. By Sunday, her temp was up to 102 and she slept a lot that day. My Mom works for SH urgent care, so I had her talk to the Dr and he said to just keep watching her since she was eating okay. By Monday morning, her temp was up to 103 and she was not doing much of anything. She wouldn't even crack a smile, which is NOT like Delani at all. I called the Dr and we got right in. The nurse took her temp twice just to make sure the reading was right because it was so high. The Dr came in and checked her over. She said that her throat looked a little red so they ran a strep test. That came back negative. They then checked her breating and that was fine. Then they decided they were going to check for a UTI. I thought they were going to tell me they wanted to cath her but they didnt. They put this thing on her that is called a 'puck'. It was pretty much like a bag super glued to her little bottom. We went home and waited for her to pee. Just my luck...the bag leaked. I tried holding her up right until she peed again, no luck. I tried sitting on the floor with my legs bent with the little pee cup between my legs and sat Delani on my lap, no luck. I ended up calling the Dr back & they wanted me to bring her BACK in to get another one put on. This time they gave me an extra one in case it leaked again. We left again and just waited until she peed. When we finally peed, I tried putting her in the sink with warm water to loosen up the 'super glue' from the bag. She wanted no part of that. She did not want me to put her down at all. I told my Mom to just tear it off because I couldn't do it! Luckily, my Mom was off work that day and was able to help me out with the girls. I didn't want to bring Ellery to daycare and get all the other kids sick. Anyways, I took the pee back to the Dr. This time I left Delani with my Mom and brought Ellery with me. It took them almost an hour just to run the test. After sitting in the waiting room forever, the Dr came out and said that it was also negative so they thought it was just something viral. They told me to keep giving her Tylenol. I told them that I had been giving her Tylenol and it had not been working. They said to try Ibuprofen. So by the time I got home from the Dr office it was 6ish. I gave Delani some more medicine and by 7:30 her temp had started going down. By 8:30ish she was down playing and was her happy little self again. Thank God! By the way, Delani weighed 17#13oz, what a little chunker!! The girls went to G-ma GG's on Tuesday because I couldn't send them to daycare yet. They are finally back to daycare today but now I'm sick! I don't know if I have what Delani had or not-she never threw up & I feel like I could lose it anytime. I also have a bad head ache! Hopefully Ellery and Andy care able to stay healthy and not come down with whatever this junk is!!

Ellery is not liking all the attention that Delani has been getting being sick. She is SO jealous! It's like the first day I brought Delani home all over again. She is so extremely whiny & in Delani's face! If I say it's black, she says it's white. I love the girl to death but she is really testing our patience lately!!
