Well last weekend I gave Skye a shower and I was putting on her lotion and she was burning up! So I went to Ridleys, bought a thermometer and took her temp in the parking lot, it was 101.9. That was a little high, so I called Neesee and asked her what she thought, she told me instacare was open maybe I should just run her over there real quick. I get to instacare, get checked in and everything and when they took Skye's temperature it had gone from 101.9 to 102.9 in just that amount of time. Her heart rate is normally supposed to be between 80-110 and it was 167. So they gave her some ibuprofen and we waited for the doctor to come in. He comes in and listens to her lungs and her heart rate is still so high, he tells me I need to take her to the Emergency Room right now, they can't/don't really know how to deal with things like that. So I am FREAKING out, Jordan won't answer his phone, I call Denese and I can barely tell her what's going on because I'm crying. She tells me either her or my dad will come up there with me. I get to the emergency room and they take us back, give her some Tylenol and tell me her heart rate is up because her high fever. They watch her for a little while and her temperature goes down. I had to get her to pee in a cup so they could test her for a Urinary Tract Infection, that comes up negative. They just tell me keep giving her Tylenol and ibuprofen and watch her. We take her home and I gave her more medicine that night and before I left for work in the morning (Jordan was also sick throwing up, so he stayed home with her) and she was totally fine after that. I was so scared, and now I can say our first trip to the emergency room is over and it turned out fine! Being a mom can be so hard and scary sometimes. I always want to do the best and right thing for Skye. I hope I can be the best mom possible for her!
