Can't stop thinking about 106.8 fever
I just can't stop thinking of something that happened almost a year ago. My daughter was 13 months old when she had a really bad fever and we woke up to her shaking in her sleep with her lips turning blue. The hospital said she had phenomena and to give her Tylenol and Motrin every 4 hours. Well I didnt because she seemed to be getting better. She skipped a dose and she woke up from her nap shaking and her lips were turning blue again! We took her back to the hospital where they took her tempature with a forehead scanner but didnt tell me. I asked the guy want it was but I can't remember all I can remember was that it was super high. I can't believe they had us waiting in the ER with a 13 month old to get seen. They didnt seam to be that urgent at all. It was her 2nd visit to the ER. Her lips were blue while she was sleeping. We decided to walk out the ER, but before we left i told the guy to take our name off rhe list. And he asked why were were leaving i said because my 13 month old should not have to wait to be seen. Shes only a baby and this was our 2nd time being at this ER today. He said the only way shed be seen is if she was coding (meaning if she was dieing). We still left and drove to a different hospital about 3 miles down the road. My daughter threw up 3 times in the backseat and I remember walking in there and telling them we need to be seen asap and that we left a hospital that wasnt taking us seriously. We waited i want to say 2 minutes or so i didnt even sit down and they took us back to get her vitals. They did a rectal temperature and it was 106.8 honestly that has been replaying in my head everyday for a while now. I just remember the nurses face and how concerned they looked. My daughter was put in this tramma room where they had those machines that would shock a dead person. I don't really recall how worried I was. And that is why I keep thinking of this day over and over in ny head. She's okay now. Shes just turned 2 years old and is super active and very smart. Shes my pain in the butt and my little helper. I love her so much and I honestly dont know what id do if i didnt have her here today.
