ER And Overtime

This morning we had to take Alyssa to the ER because her regular pediatrician did not have an opening to see her.

Her fever was being persistant this morning and at 7 it was a 100.4 under the arm and then at 9 it was 100.8 so I called and they advised me to take her to ER.

Even though we were prepared for a long wait, I was not prepared for a 4 hour hardly being seen wait lol. What took 5 mins to diagnosed and prescribed should have taken about 2 hours not 4 lol. Needless to say I was not happy but I could not leave either.

Her fever rectally was actually 101.4 so she did have a higher fever than thought. Or is it that the digital thermometer under the arm is a degree less than the real temperature? I always forget to add a degree to get the accurate temperature. Alyssa also did have an ear infection which we needed a medication for.

We ended up not having breakfast nor lunch so we were quite hungry but running in the nick of time for Big Daddy. To which I had to run his lunch over to him after dropping him off. He needed something to eat being that he also is still not feeling well either.

I have to wait til tomorrow to pick up Alyssa's medicine but in the meantime I'm giving her Tylenol and Motrin.
