Micah's first illness (Roseola @ 8.5 months) =(
I got a really high fever so Mommy, Daddy, and PoPo took me to the ER (my first ER visit) My fever was 104 degrees. The stupid ER doctor sent us home with an ear infection and told us to give me antibiotics, ear drops, and Daddy and Mommy gave me tylenol. The following day we followed up with my new Pediatrician and I liked her, she was nice. She said that I had a really mild ear infection. She said my fever was not due to an ear infection. She also called me gorgeous the whole entire visit. She told us to do a blood test and a urine test. They took 3 vials of blood from my little hand!! Mommy said I was crying so hard. Mommy and Daddy felt so sad, they said that they have never heard me cry so much before.
The tests all came back normal so my pediatrician thought it could be a viral infection and she mentioned Roseola. She said I might break out into a rash and so the next day Saturday, I sure did break out in a little rash. On Sunday the rash had spread all over my body, when Mommy called the on call nurse, they told Mommy to take me to the ER again. At the ER they took 2 more vials of blood and put me on an IV for over 1.5 hours. They said I was dehydrated from all the diarrhea I have been having from the night before.
Mommy says: It's really hard to see her little baby go through so much hurt and pain. Not only I wasn't able to tell her how I was feeling, she also wasn't able to do anything to help me. This illness broke Mama's heart =( It has been over a week since I got this viral infection and I am still not the same happy, active baby. Mommy says I'm still very weak and I don't crawl like I used to. Mama and Daddy prays everyday for me to get better. Many of Mama and Daddy's friends and family came to visit me and asked how I was doing. Thank you for all the unconditional love.
