It has been a rough couple of days. Makena caught a low grade fever on Sunday and she has been down hill every since. Here fever was up to 104 last night and has hovered around the 101-102 mark most of the other times. I took her to the doctor today and he said there is nothing obvious to indicate a bacterial infection. If it is viral, she should be feeling better and fever should drop within the next day. If it does not--he will do a urine culture for a bladder infection. He said at her age, it is VERY rare to have a bladder infection without something else wrong (i.e. something is not right with her urinary tract system). If it turns out to be a bladder infection, they will do x-rays and run other test to ensure her system is functioning properly.
So, here's hoping she feels better soon--aside from the scary thought of a bladder infection...mama needs some sleep. She was yapping in her sleep and thrashing around the bed for almost two hours straight last night. Dr. said it may all be fever related--stress to the body.
Hopefully, I'll post tomorrow with some good news.

I think Faith has had a bladder infection before - or did when she was much younger.. and it wasn't all that serious. In fact, Nate Nate has had one too. I hope Mak gets to feeling better really soon - and you get some rest!
I am glad she feels better!
Are we ever going to see an update, or is she still not sleeping?
I agree with Katie, updating is a good thing
