Urgent Care Thurs Aug 11

Well we had to take Mia to urgent care b/c her temp has been 103 to 103.5 since Wednesday and after waking up at 7am today, it is still that high. :( The doc there said it's viral and to keep giving her Tylenol, since it seems to work better for her than Motrin, to bring the fever down. He said she doesn't have pneumonia and that her cough is from her nasal drip. He also said that the fever could last up to 4 days, today is day 3, and to bring her back in on Sunday if it is still that high. We also have to bring her in if she gets lethargic and stops eating. Then they'll run some blood tests and take some x-rays. Hopefully it won't come down to that. Anywho, Mia is drinking, eating, playing and sleeping well (slept 14 hours Tues night and 14 1/2 hours Wed night prob b/c of her high fever) which the doc said is a good sign. In the mean time, I have to stay away from babies until Mia gets better, b/c it is contagious. I'll keep you all posted and let you know how it goes this weekend.
