First ER visit...

At around 12:30 am this morning Jocelyn woke up crying and screaming. When I went to get her she felt like she was on fire. I gave her a dose of Children's Motrin and took her temperature. It was 105 degrees. Yes 105 degrees. I called the nurseline at my work and was told to bring her into the emergency room. When we got there the triage nurse asked me questions and took her back to a room. When they did a rectal temp there it was down to 103 degrees. The doctor looked in her ear and her nose and she was diagnosed with a sinus infection and the very early stages of an ear infection. We then went to a 24 hr CVS Pharmacy and picked up the antiobiotic they prescribed. By the time we got home it was 2:30 am and we were TIRED. She was so good at the emergency room. She didn't fight when they took the rectal temp and didn't fuss when he looked in her ears and nose. She made mama proud. She slept in until 8 am which she NEVER does. She seems to feel better today and her temperature is continuing to go down. May this be the first of very few visits to an emergency room. Mama needs sleep !!!!!
