After a nice, healthy summer, we were bound to get some germs soon! Last week, the night before Emma's first birthday, she woke up around 11:30 pm and threw up. She proceeded to throw up six more times between then and 7:00 am. What a way to start her birthday!! Those were some crazy germs... we found out later that six other kids we had been with the day before at playgroup all were up during about the same hours throwing up, too! No fun!! After 12 hours, though, she was fine!
Then, last Tuesday, she started running a fever. She had no other symptoms but each day of the week, her fever got higher and higher. By Friday (the 4th day of fever), it was up to 103.7 and she was just miserable. I called the doctor, who told us to come in. After ruling out several other things, the doctor suspected it was a UTI. We decided to let her test for that (which included Emma getting a catheter.. so sad!). Good thing we did because we found out that, sure enough, the poor girl has a UTI! They put her on an antibiotic and finally today, she is fever free after 5 days! So thankful she's finally feeling better.
