Randi is just shy of 1 year old...I think only like 10 days till her birthday!!! I can't believe it! Anyway, she has made it the whole year and never really been sick...until last week. While in Dallas last Saturday we took her to the ER for a bad ear infection. She has been on amox. all week, and last Wednesday she finally started acting like herself again.
This Saturday (a week later), she broke out in red spots all over her body, and Sunday afternoon it turned into a high fever of over 103.
We took her to the pediatrician today, and they don't know what it is. Her fever had already broke before we got to the doctor, but I think it went back up again this evening. Her ears, lungs, & heart are all in great shape. They pricked her finger and found her white blood count very high. Which should not be the case because she has been on the amox antibiotics for 9 days now. They did a pee-pee test and it came back clean. So, they had to draw her blood and send it off to the lab. They gave her a shot of a strong anti-biotic to fight whatever it is. She basically got poked and prodded for over two hours today!
JJ has to take her back tomorrow to check her blood count again. If it's back down, then we are in the clear. If not and we still don't have test results back yet, then we go back again on Wednesday. Basically they want to see her everyday until either we know what is going on, or until her blood count returns to a normal level.
We of course want her to be happy and healthy all the time, but it would really be a shame for her to be feeling icky on her first birthday! Please pray that our little one is feeling better quickly and the doctors figure out what is going on.
