Going to the ER is never fun

It always breaks my heart to see my little bugs sick, but it is even worse when you actually have to take them in. Claire hasn't been feeling well sense Thursday night. Super high fever and headaches, so after a very long night last night, I called the Pediatrician and the nurse had me go to the ER. She had a 101.9 temp (after I gave her Motrin 1 hour before) and she was mildly dehydrated (she only urinated just this morning sense Thursday) 4 hours later and lots of tests that all came back fine, we are home. More tests are out for cultures and we are on antibiotics just in case. If she complains (I mean screams) of more headaches tonight then I will take her back in for a spinal tap, but that is last on our list, so lets pray for the best and the it is just some weird viral thing and we can take care of it.
I will keep you posted.

Poor baby Claire, just home and snuggling her bear the Hospital gave her.

Poor little thing. There is NOTHING worse than having to take one of your kids to the hospital. I hope that she gets feeling better and you won't have to do the spinal tap thing. That wouldn't be fun.

The Stronks Family

I'm so sorry to hear that she has been ill. I hope that she recovers quickly and that it doesn't spread to the rest of the family. We will keep you in our prayers.

Nettie!

Oh poor thing! I will pray for no spinal taps or anything more than a virus!

She doesn't look too good in the pic. Hope it's not serious. I'm glad she had a little bit of fun last night.

Ahh, baby Claires eyes tell it all! Hopefully all is well soon and no spinal tap is needed! Please let me know if there is ANYTHING I can do for you. I know it is stressful to have to go through stuff like this! Miss you and hope to see you soon!
