ER visit
Well we made our first trip to the ER last night. Ry had been throwing up for a couple days and last night her fever went up to 105.4! Wow thats high. We had called the doctor Friday and Saturday and thought she had some sort of stomach bug. They told us to call back if she was still throwing up after 24 hours. Ry had slept most of the day Saturday, when she was awake, she was throwing up or dry heaving. We thought she had made a turn for the better Saturday night, when she actually started smiling again. She went to bed with no problems. Then at 9 she let out and ear piercing scream. I went and got her and she was burning up and as soon as I brought her to the living room she started throwing up again. We took her temp and it was 105.4. We called the doctor again and they sent us to the ER at Cooks Childrens Hospital in Ft. Worth. We woke Lynlee up and took her to a neighbors house for the night. Then Aaron, Rylan and I headed up to the hospital. They got Ry in pretty fast. By the time we got there her fever had gown down to 103. They gave her some meds for the fever and to stop her from throwing up anymore. They ran some tests and found that she has a urinary tract infection. They gave her a shot of some serious antibiotics and a prescription for some for her to take for the next 10 days. We had to stay there until she had something in her stomach for awhile and didn't throw it up. We managed to make it that far and headed home. She seems to be doing ok today. She threw up again this afternoon and her fever returned, but I got the motrin in her and it brought it back down. She is sleeping now and seems to be on the mend, hopefully! We go to the doctor tomorrow to check everything out since she got sick again today. She is a tough girl so she should be good.
