Life is a Diaper

Arien's Wednesday drama

Arien was sick earlier this week. She had a low grade fever Sunday night, but it was gone by Monday morning, so I didn't think anything about it. Monday evening, she started running a fever again, and it went up to 102. But other than that, there wasn't anything wrong with her.

Tuesday morning, she still had a fever, so I took her to the doctor. She told me that it was probaby caused by a summer cold, and she may be getting an infection. I was instructed to bring her back if she got any worse. Wednesday morning, she still had the fever, but it would go away with Tylenol. So, I went on to work, and I had a class at 1. I'd been in class for about 10 minutes when some guy comes in and tells me I have a phone call in the office.

It was my stepdad. He told me that Arien was having a seizure, and I needed to come and take her to the ER. He'd tried to call my cell phone, but I left it in the car when I went to class. I was scared out of my mind. Arien looked terrible when I got there. I got her ready and took her to the ER as fast as I could. When we got there, her fever was 103, but it went down quickly. She'd had a fever seizure. We were there for about 3 hours because they had to run so many tests on her, and it turned out that she has a urinary tract infection.

I took her back to her regular doctor Friday, and she's setting up an appointment with a neurologist because of the seizure. She just wants to make sure that it was caused by the fever, and she doesn't have anything wrong with her. That is a possibility, because of all the complications during her delivery. The doctor should call me tomorrow and let me know when the appointment is. I'm pretty sure that there's nothing wrong with her. Man, I hope I'm right.
