Fever and Rashes and Bruise... Really Suck!

The goofy girl has had quite a weekend. And not necessarily a good one. Eventful, educational, but not good.

Friday night we had the pleasure of having a small dinner-esque event with an install. Bean's presence was 

requested too. She ate mini pita with hummus, cheese, sausage, ravioli, and played with a doggie (and couldn't decide if it was a cat or indeed a dog because it had pointed ears). She had a blast... right up until she fell down 2 and a half stair and face-planted into brick. Yeah, the picture to the left shows her beautiful blue bruises, her divine abrasions, and her glamorous goose egg. She's fine and it acutally turned out to be the least troublesome part of the weekend.

Fast forward to Saturday. Anh and I decide to take Beans to the Inman Park Festival. I put SPF 50 sunscreen on her. But after her nap later that day, her face is red and splotchy. Apparently I missed a few spots and she got a sun rash (or so I thought).

Then Sunday afternoon, we had our friend Luke over and his new lady friend (who is quite awesome might I add). Then Beans gets up from her nap, which lasted a very long time, and was super cuddly. And hot. Very febrile hot. One hundred-three point five degree to be exact. And that sun rash... yeah, it spread all over her body.

So long story short, at 10:00PM, after a two hour trip to the urgent care center, she was wiped out, Jason was wiped out, I was wiped out, we were out $75, but had established that she did not have strep. The doctor thinks she has a virus and told us to keep her temperature as low as possible... lots of ibuprofen, cool drinks, cool compresses (which she does not enjoy), and cool baths.

This morning she slept in and woke up with a fever of 101.3F with out ibuprofen - safety zone! She still has a rash, but I'm thinking she's over the worst of it - knock on wood!
