Well it's been kindof a crazy weekend (week) Thursday night before bed I went in to check Sadie and tuck her in and thought "Man she is burning up!" So I took her temp 102.5 !
She woke up soon after and we took it again 103.5 it stayed above 101 for most of the night so I called and took her in Friday morning...I'm told "it's just a virus keep her on motrin" Same thing all day Friday, Saturday, Sunday...the runs and the fever over 101 hitting the 103's really often!
She didn't sleep.... we didn't sleep...it made for a long weekend and I felt horrible for her. She can't even tell you where it's hurting or understand what's going on. She didn't want to eat or drink hardly anything. Finally Monday I take her to another Doctor I asked about cryptosperidium...that pool thing they can get. So they had me take in a poopy diaper sample to be cultured in the lab. She did a little better yesterday (Tuesday) the fever had dropped but she still had the runs. Today she was doing Awsome...no sign of fever but still has the runs. The Doctor called tonight and said they got her culture back and she has Salmonella (what the?) so I've been sitting here trying to think how or where she got it that we didn't. Anyway the good news is she's doing better...the doctor said if she has any sign of fever come back that we need to take her right in to be treated. Bad news is sometimes treatment can prolong the problem when it comes to Salmonella so it's almost better for them to overcome it themselves. Anyway that's the word as far as that goes...I'm just so happy today she was a little more herself and that she seems to be recovering well on her own. We are hoping and praying she continues to do so. I decided to look on the bright side of things and think of all the snuggling and cuddling we've been able to get out of her this week before the baby comes. Eli and I both definately got a lot of one on one time with her. She is such an angel and I'm so glad she's starting to feel better!

That stinks that Sadie got sick and I'm glad she's doing better. Hopefully it doesn't come back.
Give everyone my love.
That is so sad, and crazy that she got Salmonella. I'm glad she got over it on her own.
That is exactly how Reese was a couple months ago.. only she had a fever of 104 - freaking scary! We had to take her to the ER since it was on a Sunday and it came on so quick we were really worried, but it was just a virus. I feel your pain... there wasn't much we could do either she just layed around all day and never wanted to eat or do anything -- which is very odd for her. Hope she gets back to her old self before the baby comes. Good luck!
Ok so it just hit me that you aren't due for another month?? Is the doctor cool with letting him come this early..they aren't trying to stop labor, did they say how big the estimate him to be. You were right, you thought this baby was growing super fast. Poor saders, sweet little thing, hope she gets better.
Actually I am due the 5th so just three weeks away so if she starts me on the 27th that's only about 9 days early and Sadie was 5 days early. She said the baby is measuring great though! And that if my body wasn't looking so ready already that there's no way she would start me. So not to worry! We will see next Wed(19)if there is any more progress.
Glad she is doing better. Sorry I was such a basket case when you called me back this morning. Just the fear of the unknown with everything. Love ya.
Salmonella? Is she drinking raw eggs in the morning to help her bulk up?
Hey! Thanks so much for the comment on my blog! Guess what! I LOVE LOVE LOVE that chair. And I actually have it in my bedroom right now! I still have yet to really blog about it. But guess what!? I found a guy in Sandy who was selling them for 80 BUCKS! Yup! Crazy right!? But I LOVE the whole lakeside site. NICE!! The prices are INSANE! Thanks so much for sharing. I can't wait to order something! :) I hope that little Sadie is feeling better! And I can't wait to see this new baby boy. SO much fun!
