ER

So on this last Sunday we had our first trip to the E.R. Sunday morning Reese woke up with a fever. It was really kind of odd since she didn't have any other symptoms of anything. She wasn't her usual wild self and just wanted to be held or just lay around. Todd had to go to work and I decided that we would at least go to Sacrament Meeting. Reese seemed to perk up there... but her behavior was still really odd (and by that she was behaving so well). Usually we have to make a couple trips into the foyer because she has so much energy to let run. However, this week she sat there read her books smiled at her neighbors and then eventually fell asleep on my lap. After church we just cuddled some more on the couch until Todd came home for lunch around 5-6. Reese was burning up her little body was so warm So we finally busted out a thermometer and she had a temp of 104.1! I was kind of worried because we hadn't ever had something like this and the lack of symptoms were even scarier. So we took her to the E.R. (our only option on a Sunday). They checked her in checked her temp, gave her a strep test, and some Tylenol. Then we got to wait 1 hour and 15 minutes before the Dr. finally made it in. Naturally by that time Reese was starting to resemble her old self playing games and jabbering. Didn't look much like someone in need of the emergency room. I felt kind of stupid at this point. So the Dr. said she must just have some sort of virus since everything else came up negative. So we were on our way after that pointless trip. Better safe than sorry right? We stopped at the drugstore (yes on a Sunday - get over it) and picked up a few items: Motrin, Pedialyte, and a little pony for being so good. So this entire week we've been really non-productive. Reese has needed constant comfort. So mostly we just cuddle on the couch, read stories, and try to please her as much as we can. I hate that she's not feeling good. Yesterday a really ugly rash showed up on her cheeks, but it's mostly faded today. She's definitely feeling better and finally starting to eat. So that's been our week.

Tomorrow we get to meet up with some of friends for a party. I am so excited for some much needed out of the house adulttime. I think the next weekend we are going to send Reese on down to Downey so we can actually got to a movie or something. I need a break. Taking care of a sick child takes so much out of you (stupid I know... Reese is the one who feels like poo). Anyways... so hopefully I'll remember to take some pics this weekend and we'll see you later.
