My Poor Sick Little Girl

Saturday afternoon Naomi spiked a 103.7 degree fever. During the night she seemed OK while on meds and Sunday during the day she kept the high fever, but was eating and drinking normally. Sunday night at about 11:30pm she woke up and felt as hot as hot can be. I took her temp and it was 104.2 degrees. I freaked out and all I could think about was "what if she has a seizure?" We put her in the bath tub to cool off. She did not like that at all. We gave her more meds and laid her on our bed under the fan. We turned the air down to what seemed like freezing to me and let her fall asleep next to us. Her fever went down to about 102 by morning so it was off to the doctor bright and early. Turns out she just has a virus that needs to run its course. While we were at the Dr. office he decided that she needed to be treated for a sinus infection which he thinks is not related to the fever. So, she is now on a 3 week course of antibiotics. No that was not a typo - it is 3 weeks of antibiotics for her. After one dose of meds and 2 doses of probiotics the next 3 weeks are not looking promising. Pray that she feels better soon.
