The past week or so has been a bit crazy...we'll catch you up to speed. A week ago Tuesday when I picked Emerson up from daycare she had a fever. We called the doctor and got her in that evening, figuring it was most likely another ear infection. Her ears weren't infected, so they chalked the fever up to a virus. The fever continued on and off but then on Friday evening as we were getting her ready for bed, her temp spiked and she had a febrile seizure (very mild but very scary!) so we went to the ER. They couldn't find anything wrong after several tests, so they too said it was a virus. The fever continued, so on Monday we took her to follow up with her doctor who informed us that she did have a urinary tract infection after all, but it hadn't shown up right away in the ER. Once she got the antibiotic on Monday, the fever was gone and she was herself again. Needless to say it was an extremely long week for all of us! Emmie enjoyed staying home with Grandma Ross, who came to visit and help us out during my Parent-Teacher conference week. It was such a blessing to have her here!
