Dance Fever

Julianna has had a fever for almost two weeks. She has had two rounds of antibiotics and still has been averaging a fever of 100. It's been as low as 99 and as high as 101.5, but it hasn't gone away. I took her to the doctor yesterday for the third time in the past two weeks. Yesterday was the first time that we had seen her doctor because every time we needed a doctor before he had been out of the office and we saw the doctor on-call. I am so grateful that we finally saw our doctor, Dr. Starkey. It makes me more comfortable to hear from him because he knows us and doesn't mess around when it comes to my children.

Dr. Starkey ordered a chest x-ray and blood work to find out if she had pneumonia or a different infection. Thankfully, the chest x-ray looked fine and although her breathing sounded congested, it was not in her chest, so we don't have to do breathing treatments. After all the blood work, he said that her white count was on the "high end of normal" so he has put her on another round of a stronger antibiotic. I hope that kicks the infection right outta town because it's no fun to be sick!! I hope that she's feeling better by the end of the day.

Yesterday while I had Julianna at the doctor, Lily had dance class. It was bring a friend day and I missed the whole thing. I guess that's the breaks of having three children- you just can't make it to everything. I am so sad about this because they usually don't let parents in to watch, but since it was friend day, they did a little dance for the parents at the end. Boo hoo. I asked Lily to do the dance when she got home, but she said she didn't remember the "stuff." I suppose I'll just have to catch the next show.
