So we did it...brought Ana to the ER that is. She has been a bit under the weather for quite some time now, had a steroid shot from the doctor on Friday for chest congestion and wheezing (croup), and spiked a fever on Saturday (go figure, the day the office was closed). Her doctor told me Friday that she needed to be seen immediately if (1) she was wheezing or (2) she got a fever. Well, since #2 occured... off we went. Thank goodness Dr. Grandpa was working that shift b/c Ana thought it was playtime while Grandpa examined away. Turned out to be nothing other than para influenza...aka "the flu" (maybe I should have gotten her that flu shot this year...oops!) and home we went with some cough syrup and Motrin in hand.
The mild fever continues, as does coughing and lethargy, but other than that she's still happy and playful Ana. I tell ya, it would take a bull dozer to knock this girl down.

I'm convinced that kids only get sick when the doctor's office is closed or on a Friday. The Friday sickness is the worst because then I'm forced to debate about waiting it out or just taking them in. The beginning of our high fever/croup/lethargy experience began on a Friday at 10:45 am. This must be in the "baby code".
