Our extra hour of sleep last night was spent in the ER with Lizzie. Carson started the trail of sickness that has been haunting our house, a cold. It quickly spread to Gabe who then gave it to Lizzie (my years of building up a immune system working around kids has payed off, I am still healthy). Our poor baby woke up last night with a fever of 101.5, we were told by our pediatrician to freak out with a fever 100.5 or higher when they are so young.
We quickly called our pediatrician's office where they have a nurse on call, and they told us to take her to the ER. So, we spent a few quality hours in the middle of the night at Children's Hospital to have a nurse give her Tylenol and the doctor tell us she has a cold. We asked ourselves why they couldn't tell us to give her Tylenol over the phone, but better safe than sorry.
You would think that with kid number 2 we wouldn't jump the gun, but when you have a little helpless baby you can't help but freak! Let's hope this is the last trip to the ER for a VERY long time!
