Brooke has been back to school two days, that's it!

Brooke started back to school finally on Tuesday, she was so excited to see her friends and teachers. Later that night she started feeling warm. Wednesday she woke up with a slight fever but it was gone by ten so I sent her to school and she did well. We went to meet up with "Angie" who WAS going to watch Brooke while I went on the zoo field trip with Cassidy, yeah was Brooke has another high fever spike on Friday morning so she had to go in the semi and she was not happy, She had woke up at six thirty so excited to go to Angie's! Back to my story......By four on Wednesday she was so whiny and we were out and about running errands. When we got home I felt her and she was on fire 102.5 so it said. So Wednesday after supper we took her to urgent care clinic and the doctor said the fever was 103.1 so needless to say I was very worried. He concluded very quickly that she has a "slight" infection just on her sides of her mouth and her tounge. So back on antibiotics, and they said to follow up with the ENT or pediatrician the next day. So Wednesday night was a LONG night. Shawn left in the semi after we went to urgent care and so I had Brooke the great on my hands. Cassidy went to bed and ((by the way has been back to school since last Thursday and doing WONDERFUL))! Brooke was up until 2 am crying and tossing and turning and burning up! I got up at six thirty put Cassidy on the bus and waited to call the ENT at eight. It felt like forever and so at 8:02 I called I was put on hold over seven minutes and finally told Bridgett my four year old daughter had surgery two weeks ago yesterday and she is running a temp of 103 and the urgent care doctor thinks she may have an infection, the lady sounded off back to me well he is in surgery all week call your pediatrician, I said okay....click she hung up. She must not have yet had her pot of coffee. So then I had to wait until 8:30 to call Dr. Chrissy's office and I called and right away they were so positive as well right away they say I think she is all booked up and I let out a BIG UGH!!! I got an appointment that afternoon. As soon as Dr. Chrissy came in she said you should really have seen the ENT for this not that I don't mind but.........I told her what happened and needless to say no one really wanted to take care of us. So, Dr. Chrissy confirmed yes it looks like an infection and to stay on the antibiotics. WHOA what a time to get to the bottom of a fever!! I tell you what if it's going to happen to anyone it's going to be.................ME!!!! Brooke has had a fever since Tuesday and today Saturday is the first day so far no fever!! I'm keeping my fingers crossed.
