So just a few weeks ago, Mae had her first visit to the emergency room. It was not fun at all for anyone!! Here is what happened. She basically had a fever of 105 degrees for about 3 days straight. The doctor thought she may have had a urinary tract infection so we got her on some antibiotics. But on the third day of her super high fever that wouldn't budge even with medicine in her every 3 hrs, I finally couldn't take it anymore and took her to the emergency room. I mean she was in a Luke warm bath, acting very lethargic, with a fever of 104...what would you have done. Anyway, they gave her an iv with an antibiotic, took some blood for tests, and took some urine for another uti test... it was awful. Luckily we didn't have to be at the hospital for too long and that night her fever broke. Come to find out though she didn't have a uti, so I stopped the antibiotic which was giving her raging diarrhea (poor girl!). But I was looking online at Roseola and the symptoms lined up pretty much exactly with what Mae was having. She even had a rash once the fever went down...and come to find out you don't have to give them ANYTHING for it and it goes away on its own after a few days. Why couldn't someone have thought of that before I took her to the emergency room!!! Oh well, better safe than sorry I guess! I am just glad she is OK and I have my sweet playful Mae back! Seriously while she had such a high fever all she wanted to do was cuddle with me which I LOVE but I just new she didn't feel good, you know! Here's to flu season almost being over!!!
This picture is of Mae at the hospital with her iv in and everything!
