I've never been so scared and anxious before in my whole life. Not knowing what was wrong with my Stailynne was driving me crazy. I felt so bad for my princess.
She got her 18 month shots just this past Tuesday. A couple hours after, she came down with a fever. I thought it was a little odd that she had a reaction to the vaccines because she had never before. So that worried me a bit, but i expected that with the tylenol that it would go away in a couple hours.
Well...it didn't. She just kept getting worse, until earlier this morning her fever was at 105 degrees! i got so scared that i took her to the ER at 2:30 am. the advice nurse had told me that if her temperature reached 106 degrees to call 911. That was close enough.
They had no idea what was causing her fever. So to determine a possible diagnosis they had to a whole bunch of tests that required blood and urine. it was hard for me to watch the er staff try so many times to get blood from her. She was screaming, and seeing it was making me cry. i had to step out coz i just watch any more.
After a couple more hours of waiting, the test that they were able to get results on were negative, but the cultures would not be back for another 48-72 hours. So they gave her a shot of antibiotic just in case it was bacterial, then we were able to go home.
We've both have had an exhausting day. i hope my baby gets better soon.
