Sick little one...

Last Thursday around noon Cambree came down with a temperature. I gave her medicine to try to lower it. Well Friday morning she woke up and it was still there and was 104.3, so we drove to the doctors office at 8am to see if they could squeeze her in. The luckily did, so we didn't have to go to Insta care, the doctor saw her and had us go to the hospital to run tests. Once at the hospital they tested her blood, then she had a catheter put in her to see if she had a UTI. She didn't have enough urine in her bladder so they had to leave it in her till she did, which took about 1.5 hours before they could remove it. It was so sad hearing her cry, the poor thing just felt awful.

Thank goodness I didn't have to do it all alone, Benton took off work to be with us. The tests all came back normal, so they gave her a shot in her thighs of anti-biotic and sent us home.
Here she is in the car while Benton ran in to the grocery store to fill a prescription, all tuckered out...

And at home, enjoying cuddling in bed with mom and dad with a nice cold wet washcloth to help cool her down...

Cambree's fever didn't break till this morning. Boy was it a long 72 hours! It was so hard to see her in pain. The hardest part was there wasn't anything I could do about it. Pretty much all weekend long we snuggled and took naps. Thankfully she's feeling much better today. Hopefully she doesn't get sick like that again for a long time!

Oh, poor baby. Poor you too. I hate when they are sick...just hate it. Makes you realize how blessed we are to have normally healthy kids. Glad she is doing better.

Oh that poor little thing, it must have been so sad seeing her in the hospital like that. There is nothing worse than a sick baby, makes you feel so helpless. So very glad she is feeling better today.

It's so hard when the babies are sick, especially when you can't take it away and you want to so bad! I'm glad she's on the mend, however even when she's sick she is still a cutie!!
