    Long story short, we rushed Sydney to the ER last Sunday evening(9/9) at 8 pm due to persistent vomiting and a fever of 105.1 degrees.
    We were there all night and after tons(I mean tons)of pricking and prodding, at 5:30 am they finally admitted her to a room.
    They started pumping her full of antibiotics right away and that brought the fever down pretty quickly.
    They then proceeded to do several tests to make sure that she doesn't have the condition that Parker has(Vesicoureteral reflux-something we have known about him since the day he was born).
    Good news, Sydney does not have this condition.
    She had a urinary tract infection and they had to pinpoint the bacteria and what antibiotic was appropriate for treatment.
    Sydney and I came home Thursday afternoon and she seems to be getting back into the swing of things already.
    She is all smiles and was very excited to see her brother.

    :love0028: Those high fevers are so scary! I'm glad it was easily fixable.

    Three of my five tend to get those 105+ fevers when they're sick. It's so scary. It's even more scary when they are so little. Poor baby, and poor momma!
