Sunday afternoon 103.4 fever that went down to 101.2 with Tylenol and motrin. Monday morning 103.4 again. Took a 4 hour nap. Woke with a 99.2. Didn't give any more meds after 8am. At bed she was up to 102.3. Hasn't eaten barely anything pushing as much fluids as possible. Still having wet diapers. Woke this am and she threw up some bile and a 99.8 temp.
Do I take her to the doctor? I have my 20w u/s and appt today and I'm 20w 5d so I can't push the u/s back. I can try and schedule around it and see if MIL can help. We are getting a storm tomorrow so I'd rather not take her in a snow storm but I can. Then obviously it's Thanksgiving.
What do you think? Sorry I'm a mess today. Hormones. Anniversary of my step dad's death. Ultrasound and dd sick. Ugh.
I'm sorry about your step dad, those days are rough. And I'm sorry that you have a sick little girl. I would take her to the doctor since she still has a fever and it's been a few days. Good luck with your ultrasound and with G.

My dr's office says if they've had a fever over 101 for more than 24 hours (or maybe it's 48 hours?), they like to see them. And since the holidays are coming up (and not sure about your dr, but mine will be shutting down for a few days), I'd feel better just taking her in. Good luck!

Sean had similar symptoms last week. I took him in, and it turns out he had an ear infection and viral infection. They gave him antibiotics, and he was a different kid within hours. He hasn't had another fever since the first dose. It was definitely worth it to take him in, even though I hate it.
Sorry for all of your stress I hope your appointment goes well today, and that Grace feels better.
Sorry your plate is so full today . Another vote for taking her in, though. Jasper had the same sort of thing about a month ago, and he ended up having an ear infection also. Plus with the holidays coming up--- I'd way rather sit at the pedi's office today for a little while, than an urgent care for elevntybillion hours on Thanksgiving.
They can get her in at noon. So ill have to come home and get her then go back. Just sucks because the offices are in the same building as my appointments.
Ugh, sorry you're having such a rough day. Glad you could get her in. With the holidays coming up, it will be better to know. Usually when our kiddos have a fever for awhile, it ends up being an ear infection. It could just be a virus, but at least you'll know.
They gave the appts away by the time I called back. So now I have to get her after my appt and bring her to the walk in. Blah. She was running around like crazy when I left. Ate toast and apple sauce. I don't know. I guess I should still take her to be sure.
All looked well on the u/s. They didn't get great heart views so I may need to return. He's got long limbs. Too stubboen to move. Heart beat was 158.
I would still take her to the walk-in. DD had similar symptoms from Thurs-the weekend a few weeks ago. When I took her that Monday, it was an ear infection and strep. I was so frustrated because when I called Thursday afternoon, they said it was probably a stomach virus that was going around.
Glad to hear she is okay! It sucks that you took her and it's just a virus doing its thing.... I feel like W's illnesses always fall on a Friday where we'll be stuck with an Urgent Care visit if we wait.

My MIL brought her to me and she there was no wait really so It worked fine. I figured if I didn't then we would be driving in a foot of snow...Or on thanksgiving or something...

I would take her in. You'll find yourself in a bind over Thanksgiving if you don't. It's probably an ear infection
ugh I wish I wasn't working so could come down and help...I know it sounds creepy and I am a creepy person.
I would totally take her, just go you can get some answers and not possibly spend your turkey day in the ER with a sick baby.
I am here for moral support if you need me
