no more drama...

This past week has been very crazy and dramatic. I am exhausted and grateful that things have turned around. Roo had started spiking a fever last Sun. so I took her to the ped. on Mon and got antibiotics and went on our merry way. That night she spiked 104 with medicine and we went to the ER. 4 hours later...sitting in the ER, spiking fevers, watching sick people have seizures, it was crazy, we got to see the doc who gave her motrin and an antibiotic shot. We got home about 3 am, Jas took Pea to school and the ped. called and said to bring Roo in since she was still having spiking fevers even with medicine. We went to the ped. and Roo spiked 103.7 in her office, needless to say we were sent to the hospital. It was crazy and scary. Roo was miserable, clingy, and dare I say... "off the chain" grumpy. I had no sleep 2 days straight. She was put on an IV and they tried to keep a handle on her fever which at one point freaked them out at 103.7 auxillary again. It came down finally. Turns out it was some nasty virus and not the flu. Thankfully her chest xray and bloodwork looked good. The icing on the cake was when the school called on Wed. to say that Pea threw up at school and we needed to come get her. Luckily Nana had been staying with her and went to get her. Jas also left the hospital to go to check on her. I was majorly overwhelmed and scared. Pea was fine and didn't throw up anymore after that. Jas came back to the hospital and later that afternoon Roo was good enough to be discharged. She got to take the red wagon out of the hospital and she loved it. She broke out in a rash on Thursday so I am thinking she had a severe case of Roseola. Wow! Thankfully after a few days rest, all of us feel better again. Crazy that something so run of the mill could cause such chaos. I guess the Lord was teaching me not to take things for granted. I am praying for all the families that are still in the hospital with sick loved ones. ***update: It turns out it was not Roseola, just some mean virus. Crazy! I say it's probably the flu's black sheep cousin!
