This is another super late night post, as I am yet again in the pediatric ER with Molly. She has had another of her fever episodes for the last few days, and she has spiked high enough (105-106 degrees) that a trip to the ER was warrented. We arrived just after 9pm and were finally discharged just before 2am. Basically same results as the last time - indicators that an infection is present without an indication of exactly what kind of infection it may be.
The silver lining was that once again Molly was a total trooper. We learned this time that the pediatric ER has a TV channel where you can watch movies. We watched Tangled 1 1/2 times, Finding Nemo, and part of the Little Mermaid. She never fell asleep, but she was completely content sitting with me watching her movies. She peed in a cup, tolerated a strep culture, and championed through two blood work sticks. Her fever was under control when we arrived but returned while they were there; other than acting slightly more puny she handled it better than any 2-year-old should. I would have very much rather not have had to return to the ER with Molly, but my little medical superstar made the night together darn near fun.
