...and I don't mean figure skating.
Things are no better today. She did well temperature-wise until about 1:45, spiked again to 104.1. This is with Tylenol/Motrin every four hours.
Her blood work came back normal, not showing elevated white cells.
Dr. Pierre thinks it's a nasty viral bug that is going around. She has seen MANY kids with this type virus that is causing hard to control CRAZY HIGH temps. Usually they end up breaking out in a rash and then the temps start to resolve. She got a shot of Rocephin today (strong antibiotic). Even though we still think this is viral Dr. Pierre didn't want to take any chances especially going into Easter weekend. We split it into two shots because she got such large dose and it would have been too sore and painful to put it all in one leg.
I'm no so much worried about the temperature but HOW HIGH it's going with meds on board. I am so, so, so afraid of a seizure with her. When she spiked at 2 today she started doing this weird "twitch" with her arms and legs...she was totally conscious but it freaked me out and we threw her right in the tub.
She had spiked again to 104 at about six tonight. She has been literally laying with nothing but a diaper on and ice packs all around her and one on her head. To the touch she is cold but her temp is still high.
I am feeling a smidge better but that's with LOTS of naps. If I do too much I feel horrible. I can only imagine how bad Makily feels. Allen is home and is taking care of both of us. I am so thankful because I don't know what I would do right now if he wasn't here.
Please pray for the fevers to come down and stay down. Especially pray for NO SEIZURES. That is my biggest concern right now. There isn't anything else we can do other than what we are doing to bring the temps down and it's not working too well.
