I just want to cry...

Today is my due date. I don't care anymore that I'm due/going to be overdue...I just want my DD to be healthy.

Since Wednesday, late afternoon, she has been running a fever. It topped out at 103.4 by day 2. We went to our Nurse Practitioner on Friday and got some Amoxicillin for her and have her on that and Ibuprofen. When the Ibuprofen kicks in she acts normal, and the second it begins to wear off she's passing out on the couch, chills, burning up, etc. It's so awful watching her and now it's been 72 hours and no end in sight. Even a nurse called her a medical mystery. :/

So instead of worrying and having a fit over my due date coming and going, I'm trying to figure out if I should wait one more day or drive an hour and a half up to a children's hospital and tell them to run tests on my little girl. The idea that it might come to that scares me. I just want my DD healthy, and nothing I've done so far has helped her. I'm usually on top of this kind of stuff, and yet this one has thrown me for a loop...

    :(. That sucks. Take her in the morning. Better than to stress at this stage. My brother had food poisoning (not that its what it is) when he was little and spent a full week with a fever in the hospital. Fevers that last are no joke. Hope she feels better soon mama!!

    Not to minimize anything but it's sounds like your DD has a virus and will likely be ok in a few days. My daughter and her friends are often sick like that...antibiotics don't help. Just gotta wait it out and keep up with the Tylenol.
