Scary Times...

To pass the time we read books....

Lexi hated the bracelet they put on her leg and would cry every time she looked at it. (yeah we were in a hurry to leave... So yeah paul totally looks like a weirdo .. but what do ya do)

Last night Lexi went to bed and woke up about 8 burning hot. We took her temp and it said 103 so we gave her Tylenol and a cool bath and 4 hours later her temp still didn't drop. Like a panicked mom i went to walmart looking for something else that might help.. still nothing. The whole time Lexi's crying saying Owy Owy. Finally at 1am we decided to go to the E.R. Lexi was beyond tired but was a trooper. They took her back and looked in her ears everything was fine. They looked in her mouth and in a second was like wow look at this .. HUGE white bumps all on the back of her throat. They thought she had strep throat, so they took a swab of it and tested it (which she HATED and screamed MOMMY MOMMY MOMMY the whole time) ... . it came back negative which was good. They said she just had a viral infection and to alternate Tylenol and Motrin every 3 hours for the next 3 days. We finally left at 3am and Lexi was greatful to get to bed. It's seemed to work so far and she hasn't had a high temp since. I'm glad we decided to go to the E.R. even though it just turned out to be something treatable at home but it made me feel better.
