Fever and ER visit

Yesterday was David's cousin's wedding. Audrey has had a fever but in the late afternoon she started to cheer up and I decided to take her with rather than face the rath of his family of not bringing her. At the reception, her fever started spiking again and it was 104 with Tylenol. We high tailed it out of there and got her home and gave her a bath and she was back to normal again. She woke at 11:30pm throwing up and her fever was back up to 104 again with tylenol AND ibuprofen on board. We dumped her into the tub again and when we got her out her face turned blue. That's it! I am taking her to the emergency room!

They took a chest X-Ray and urine sample. Her ears looked abnormal, but they were not infected. The chest X Ray showed she had infiltrates in her lung, which could be a virus or the start of pneumonia. He gave us antibiotics.

What stinks is if I wasn't so afraid of his family getting all up in my grill about not bringing Audrey, I would have kept her home... She would have gotten better rest and this may never have happened.
