We have been off and on high fevers for the last week or so. Poor thing has had a fever every day since Weds. Ranging from 99.6 - 103.2. We went to the after hours for her doctors other location Friday night with the 103.2 asking them if they would just figure out what is going on with her. She has been on an antibiotic for ten days and tylenol and motrin every three hours for days too and still the fever persists. They took another urine sample and said that it is not a kidney infection and that everything else looks and sounds great. That they have no idea what is causing the steady fever but to just keep her on the meds and wait it out. She had to start a round of amoxicillin on Saturday. She stays on the antibiotic now until we have a study of her kidneys done at the Hospital she was born at. They have informed us that any child under the age of 2 that has a possitive UTI accompanied by a high fever has to undergo the study to make sure there is no underlying issues with the kidneys. They are checking for reflux of the bladder. We still have not heard back from the Hospital about scheduling the procedure so we have no idea how long it will be. If these fevers persist then I will call to see if we can speed things along. The prescription for the antibiotic was written for 30 days and I really hope that isn't a sign of how long this will take.
On a good note her two top teeth have poked all the way through now. That and she loves to try to stand on her own. Once she falls she will start to clap and say her version of Yay! Really adorable. I have lots of fun pictures that I need to upload as soon as I get around to it. Tonigt is soccer night. It is an early game so Autumn and I will go with Zack to cheer him on.
