On Wed. I spent the rest of the afternoon sitting with Baylie watching Mickey as she had a low grade fever that was rising, even with Motrin. Well at 9:30 that night, 2-4hrs before it was time for another dose or some Tylenol her temp jumped to fast & caused her to have a febrile seizure. Luckily it lasted less then 30 secs & only took a minute to get her to focus again. Even though I KNEW what was happening & stayed relatively calm it was still one of the scariest things I have seen, that’s my BABY!
Once she came too I got a hold of the on call ped who said I should take her to the ER just to make sure its not a bacterial infection that is causing the fever. So at 10:30 at night Zander & Carlie got to go to dads so I could bring Baylie to the ER. The nurses & docs were nice, they checked her over did an x-ray & determined that it was something viral, because they couldn’t find any other signs or symptoms & if I notice any changes take her to the ped.
Well Thursday afternoon she went to see her dad for 30 minutes & came back with a small blister like spot on her leg… so off to the ped we went! The blister was just a large bug bite from dads yard, but the ped Dr. Bob (my dr as a kid 
) noticed that the glands behind her ears had started to swell which is a sign of roseola AND he had seen a few cases recently. Funny thing is on the way home from the ER that night at 1am that’s what I was thinking about… a virus with a fever & nothing else! Anyways it’s good to know what we are up against & it’s a matter of just managing the fever for 1-3 days and then she will have a rash most likely for a week or so. And Carlie is the only one we have to worry about getting it since it’s something that is most common between 6-24 months & rare after 4, plus I think Zander already had it.
Anyways yesterday she was still not feeling great, but I let her Motrin run out by 1 hour that morning to see how her body is doing since she didn’t feel super hot… & its was back down to 100.6 without any medicine which is great since when she had the seizure it was up to 103 WITH medicine & had been 102.8 the day before with the medicine still. Anyways I gave her some Tylenol & her temp was 98.6 with that. After that dose ran out her temp stayed normal!!! The rest of the evening she was still very irritable, but she started eating again which was good.
SO I knew this morning when I was woken to fighting that Baylie was feeling better 
. She still gets tired pretty easy, but she hadn’t eaten solids in 2 days, so considering she is doing great!
