Sick Mary Reilly

I need to find a way to move these pictures in the order I wanted...oh well....I took a picture of her rash because I know when I take her to the doctor's she wont have it.

Mary Reilly came in from playing in the yard yesterday when I noticed she was feeling hotter than normal. I took her temp and it was 101.3...Not so bad you would say, but Mary Reilly gets febrile seizures. Her body doesn't take fevers well. After I took her temp I gave her Tylenol and she started shaking. -The last time I took Mary Reilly to the ER (the day Anna Grace came home from the hospital) the doctor at MUSC told me I didn't need to take her every time she had one. She only needed to go if it lasted more than 30 minutes. 30 minutes is a LONG TIME! 15 minutes is a LONG TIME! That's how long MR's usually last.

What made me kinda mad was this morning I called our clinic and told them what was going on and they told me she should have gone to the ER! What??!!? Am I a bad mom for not taking her to the ER? I try to do what the doctors tell me then I move to go a different health clinic and they tell me something different. Who is right? Why didn't they tell Ladson that on the phone when he called the emergency line yesterday? All I can conclude from this is whenever I do will be wrong to a different doctor. I just can't win!

I am taking her back to the doctor this morning. The rash is most likely a reaction to the antibiotic. (Remember she is allergic to penicillin) Who knows. I will report back when I know.
