One Sick Little Girl

Saturday was a busy day, lots going on, but Kambree was fine. Acted fine. Ate fine. Never complained. Cory and I went golfing and to dinner that night, and we had a babysitter. (the most fantastic and best babysitter ever!) When we got home, she told me that Kambree had fallen asleep watching a movie (nothing new) and didn't want to eat dinner, she was just too tired, so she let her sleep and moved her to her bed later. I took the babysitter home, and when I walked in the door, Kambree came from her room crying, saying she didn't feel good. When I picked her up, she was burning up. Took her temp and it was a 104.3! I grabbed the motrin and ice packs and we sat int he rocking chair for over an hour trying to cool her down. She had dropped to 102.0 so I put her in her bed and set my alarm to wake 3 hours later to give her tylenol. 10 minutes before that alarm was to go off, she came in crying with stomach pain and fever again. So most of the night was spent in the rocking chair with ice packs. Even with tylenol and motrin on board, she had abdominal pain and would wine and wimper. I knew this was something.... so I took her to the ER at Bear River Hospital on Sunday morning. Strep was negative. Urine showed a bladder infection... but not that bad, especially to cause a 104 fever. So we did some blood work. It showed her white count was up to 28,000. (normal is 8,000) So we knew we had a pretty sick little girl. They started rocephin by IV int he ER. The picture below is from the ER.

More from the ER and a picture to show her IV.

They were really nice and good to her in the ER and gave her a little bag of toys, books, and fun!

They decided to keep her to watch her, so this is in her room. They never came to any conclusions, and didn't run any more tests, just treated the fever, and gave her antibiotics. She was doing a little better after lots of sleep and meds, so on Monday morning they sent her home.

After being home for a little bit.... she started running a temp and had more abdominal pain. So I called our reg doctor, and we went in to see him. He was really concerned, and wanted to know the source, not just treat the symptoms, but because she was treated with antibiotics already, it was going to be hard to find. He sent us to the hospital for an abdominal ultrasound and more blood work. The U/S was normal, but he called when we got home and said her white count was up to 32,600 so we needed to go to Primary Children's for more tests. So we quickly called grandma to keep Gage and Kassie, packed a couple of bags, and off we went!
