Poor little thing has had fever since Friday morning. Started out 100.4, then by that night 101. Yesterday 101-102 all day and last night 102-104. Today she is miserable, just lying on the couch with her eyes half open and glazed over. She's got a horrible cough, and also vomited a few times during the night. She's so hot, and shaking and unhappy... I hate seeing her like this.
Doctor is giving her a special sunday appointment, at 11:15. Hopefully she'll be ok and it's nothing. Last time she was this sick, she was admitted to Baptist hosp for 3 days. I thought that was a reaction to her MMR vaccine, but now I'm not so sure.

Sierra is sick...

Could it be an middle ear infection? Infection causes fever by nature, ear part makes her disoriented and pukey. The nauseous feeling some people get after they've been spun around is due to the fluid in the ear maintaining its motion after the body has stopped, so if that's screwed up, she could be vomiting. Immune system is weakened by the bacteria, lets other bacteria in, causing the cough. Or, did she get steroids at the hospital? That can weaken the immune system.
I'm not a doctor, but Doctor Google made sense and it's possible Sierra got it from Jaymes....
It's Croup. I need to post an update I guess!
