I don’t know what is up with all these kiddos being sick. Arianna is still battling a fever. This morning she was 103 and really cranky so we had to cancel our hearing test. I gave her a bath then put her back to bed. Her sats are staying in the 90’s except for a few dips last night when sleeping, but nothing that would require me to put the oxygen back on. I really hope this is just the teeth causing this and nothing else. The good thing is she is still drinking liquids so I don’t have to worry about dehydration…always something we worry about when our babies don’t feel good. Well I better get a few things done while she’s sleeping cause she won’t let me put her down when she’s awake. I’ll let you know if anything changes.

I am now worried too! Maybe you can call the doc and have her checked for RSV? I know that is scary to think about...but it may be the cause...plus didn't she just finish up with pneumonia? Poor baby. I am sorry...I will tell you this...103 is not teething...there is something else going on with her. Keep us posted.

Hugs!

Oh no! Arianna, what's going on, little girl? Hopefully this is just a passing thing and isn't anything to worry about. Keep an eye on that temp! 103 is pretty high! Please keep us posted.

Why is every single one of my heart babies acting up right now? I feel like Elijah is going to get sick now. NOOOoooooo!

Oh poor thing! I hope she feels better soon. I would call the doctor too (of course I call the doctor for any fever ever, I am a little bit crazy). But I do know that they only expect low grade fevers with teething, not more than 100. Take care of each other!

Sounds like it is time to get to the doctors. Three days is too long for a fever like that! Hope it is nothing big but you will feel better knowing.
Take care and keep us informed.

Okay Vanessa...you have left us hanging...It is 5:38 my time...I am subtracting 2 hours so I think it is 3:38 your time...how is the princess doing now? Did you talk to the doctor? I have been thinking of you all day.

Hugs,

Yeah...i don't think that's teething. Now...I agree...get the RSV test...but, also with Isaac..they said his fever is from his ears. (and he wasn't pulling on them or had a runny nose). These kids just came to us to drive us CRAZY!!! They'll get content and settled...and pull another trick from up their sleeve!
Let us know if you take her in. Just LIE and tell them she was playing with Isaac today! (then, they'll get you in!!!)
I hope everything's ok. Hurry up and tell us!~!!

I'm so sorry to hear that Arianna's still sick. It really doesn't sound like teething, but there seem to be so many viruses that cause nothing much but fever, but I'd think maybe she might need her ears looked at, and possibly a urine test? I know that Bilal just lay around when he had an ear infection, with fever up to 103 , but he also had a nasty cough. I hope you've worked out the new pediatrician thing by now.
