NOT Feeling Better!

Well, it looks as though I was a little premature in my last posting. We thought Nicole was getting better but in fact she got worse! On Sunday her fever got so high we decided to take her to Urgent Care. When they took her temp there she was 103.2! They checked her out and said it looks like she has a sore throat / infection in the throat. We were told to give her Tylenol (which we'd been giving her) then Motrin two hours later, then Tylenol two hours later, and so on. We also began Amoxocillin 3 times a day for 10 days. We thought she'd start to improve following that advice but Sunday night I was up with Nicole frequently because her fever kept rising to around 102. At 4 am we decided to take her to the ER. Luckily we were the only ones there and had no wait. The ER doctor did a strep test that came back negative and pretty much agreed with the other doctor about her throat. He did, however, also take a chest x-ray to see if she had Pneumonia. She does not have Pneumonia, thank goodness, but Pneumonia had began to develop in her right lung. The Amoxocillin is supposed to clear that up as well. So we're just following the medication regimen for now and she'll be going to see her doctor on Thursday for a follow up.
Hopefully she's back to her happy and playful self soon.
