I took Ivy to the doctor on Tuesday because she had a fever and had been cranky for a few days. At first I was going to chalk the crankiness up to her two new molars coming in, but the doctor said she had a sore throat and of course an ear infection. So we started her on Omnicef for the ear infection and I thought she was acting a little happier yesterday. But last night she woke up at midnight with a temperature of 104 degrees! We were frantic of course, but when I called her doctor he didn't seem concerned with it being that high. I just thought the antibiotic would've started to make her feel better by now.
I rocked with her for a couple hours and her temp finally went down enough so that she could sleep. I felt horrible because I can't imagine how uncomfortable she must've been. Our hot tub is usually set between 100-102 degrees and if it gets much higher than that, I cannot set foot in it. I just kept thinking about that last night...poor thing...
