Sick Cami

Well the girls did not escape the Hoekstra sickness like I thought they had. Cami came down with a fever Thursday night. By Friday afternoon it was not getting better and I started to worry about her ears or something and since we were going into the weekend I took her to the dr. She looked awful. There was puss coming from both eyes and they were red, green snot from her nose and drool from her mouth. The Dr took one look at her and said “poor baby.” She tested positive for the flu. Since she is so young the Dr could not really do anything for a virus but did give Av some meds to keep her doing okay. The Dr said her fever would last 4-5 days. All weekend she had a slight fever but seemed better until last night. Even with meds in her, her fever was still 103.7. Scary high. By the time I could give her meds again it was 104.1 and it was not budging. She was like a limp hot rag on my lap. Sooooooo sad. We called the after hours Dr and they said as long as she was eating, her neck was not stiff, her fever was not 105 and she did not have a purple rash she was okay and her body was doing what it was supposed to be doing. We toughed it out but it was not fun. She ended up sleeping okay and woke up without a fever.
