Rough Week

On Tuesday Cambree woke up with a temperature, it only got up to 104.6 (which is normal for her). Cambree has been sick for a month now and this was the final straw for me. I called the doctor and made her an appointment for Wednesday. Tuesday was a rough night, she just didn't feel good.

She ended up in bed with mommy and daddy.

 

On Wednesday when I took her into the Dr, she said everything looked fine. She didn't have an ear infection, her chest sounded fine, no sore throat, oxygen levels were good....so why had she been sick for a whole month? They ended up prescribing her amoxicillin to get rid of whatever was lingering in her body. When I took her to the appointment she didn't have a temperature, granted I had given her Tylenol earlier that morning. After she woke up from her afternoon nap, I could tell it had risen. I gave her some medicine since it had been 3 hours and then took her temperature. It was 106. Yes, you read that right. I called her Dr office, who didn't answer, so I left a message to have someone call me ASAP. I then texted Benton who said get her in the bath tub right that minute. So I gave her a luke warm bath, afterwards it had dropped to 103.7, much better! Her doctors office called me about 2 hours after and asked what her temperature was. The nurse thought I might have said 100.6, I clarified, no, 1.0.6. That was with a digital rectal thermometer, so it was accurate. Way too high. They agreed with me that waking her up in the night to give her medicine was good for me to do. Normally, sleep breaks a temperature but in Cambrees case I didn't want to risk it going back up to 106.

I set my alarm clock and jumped out of bed every 3 hours. Luckily on Thursday she had a lower temperature in the 103's. I can handle that.

I have to share this story because it just shows how much in love she is with her blankets. I started a bath for her and while the water was running I was cleaning up my make up in the sink. Cambree said "Uh oh..." I looked over and saw her blanket in the tub. Ya, uh oh is right. I decided it was ok for her to bathe with it since she wasn't feeling good anyway. Bad idea. Once she was all ready to get out I said "leave your blankie in the tub, I'll get you another one."

This was her reply...so sad!

 

Even looking at that picture makes me sad. She was so upset. Don't worry after I wrapped her up in her towel I got her another blanket that was the same feel as the one in her tub.

All better...

 

Cambree's temperature broke on Friday and she is back to her normal self. Sick little ones are the worst!
