For a whole year Phoebe was healthy, but her first birthday opened up the Pandora Box of sickness.
October: Hands, Foot & Mouth Disease
November: Hear Infection
December: Conjuctivitus (Pink Eye)
January: ?
On Friday Phoebe started to feel warm and was a bit whiny, but nothing abnormally bad. On Friday night when I got Phoebe up from her name, her cheeks were an unrealistic red and she has a temp of 103.5. That night she last relatively well. On Saturday she once again had a a temp of 103.5 and we couldn't get it to go down but for an hour or two before it was up sky high again. That afternoon I took her to the Drs convinced she must have another ear infection. When the Dr. looked at her he was sure it was an ear infection as well so he looked there first, but nope, perfectly clean healthy ears. He then checked her throat and nose, nope perfect there too. For a last resort he had to use a catheter to check her bladder, that test came back with no real problems, but he sent it to a lab to double check anyway, due to a couple white cells showing up. This isn't always sign of an infection, but it isn't always normal either. That night was a nightmare, with her refusing to sleep or even be out down. The next day we of course stayed home from church as her fever was uncontrollable. She started the day at 104 and then went up to 105.4. At this point I began to really worry and took her back to the Drs office. The Dr quickly looked at her and told us how glad he was we returned because they got a positive test for bacteria.
January's illness:
Bladder infection
When will all this stop?!?! My poor nerves can't handle much more of this, not to mention our poor wallets, and our poor cutey pie Phoebs.

Sorry Phoebe and your nerves are having a rough time, I sympathize! It's awful to worry and not really know what to do to make it better. I think I feel more stress when Paige is sick than at any other time. Hope you all get some good rest and get better soon.
