Happy New Year...

My poor baby, remember how I told you on her birthday she wasn't feeling well? Me and my Rhea spent New Years eve in the Emergency Room. She was on her fifth day of running a fever of about 103 or higher. I took her to the doctor on day 3, guess what the answer I got was, it's a virus treat the fever it will run it's course. But on day 5 it wasn't responding to Motrin and Tylenol and the fever was 104.5! I new it was time to do something. So confirmed by chest x-ray and everything she has pneumonia. I would have never thought of that, I was thinking ear infection or bladder infection because she didn't have the typical Pneumonia symptoms but it was. She is much better now, her self again playing and smiling.

That's good to hear Sara. It is so disheartening at times when the doctor puts it off to something it isn't. I know a lot of things have similar symptoms..but with a really young one they have to look a bit deeper. I'd rather be on the safe side myself.
