~Whew~.
Doc called back earlier today and had me run some "tests" on her to make sure it wasn't an emergency. He wanted to see her but had no morning room, so decided she didn't need to go to ER and she could wait until 230p. Although I was given list of things to look for so I could take her immediately.
None of those scarier issues came up and I am back from Doc's. Apparently, the neck pain and the pants wetting are signs of strep. Crazy. So throat culture was done and he'll call in the morning. Until then, just treat her with lots of love (and motrin and fluids) and we'll have the results soon.
Thank you for all the good thoughts! The thought of my baby having meningitis scared the shit out of me.
... Once (and still) Infertile, but still Schnarky as hell. This blog is dedicated to the daily ramblings from the mind of Nancy. It isn't about anything profound in the grand scheme of things, but it ~is~ about things in my life, schnarkiness always included. I have a second blog, listed in my profile, but the blogs will continue to remain separate.
"I'm aiming for heaven, but I'll probably wind up down in hell"
About Me

- I am a 39 year old woman. I am the mother of two beautiful daughters and a handsome son. I am a career woman. As for my TTC world, it certainly doesn't seem like I am "infertile", but I fought for my pregnancies and my TTC/IF history is on the sidebar. I have two blogs, which are both listed in my profile. One focuses on my daily life - including IF, TTC, pregnancy, delivery and even some "children mentioned" posts. The second blog is ~soley~ posts directly about being the mother to my three children.

I'm so glad she's ok. I just had the same thing with my little girl. She was fine and suddenly her temp was 104! She had a headach and her legs hurt. She has the flu (actual influenza virus. I hate when they scare you like that.
Okay, thank goodness it doesn't seem to be anything more severe. It scared the crap out of me, so I can't imagine how scary it was for you. Try not to get sick yourself.
Thanks for the update! You and she have been on my mind this afternoon.
Phew. As much as I hate that the poor little girl probably has strep, that's so much better than the alternatives. I'm glad you're able to breathe, now!
I'm glad she's ok. I hope the throat culture results come back normal tomorrow.
Take care of the little baby - and yourself!
Glad she's ok so far. Hope she feels better soon and doesn't have anything bad. What a scare!
We think hubby's brother might have that - or mono. Neither is a great prognosis. Still waiting to hear. Keeping fingers crossed for your little one.
~~HUGS~~

I hope she feels better soon. Thank goodness it's nothing serious. My 14 month old has/had a Sore throat (didn't know until Dr. looked at it) Viral infection. He said strep is uncommon in 3 and under, but possible.
So glad it's not what you feared. I hope your daughter and you will be feeling much better soon! As if you need any MORE stress in your life right now???!?!! Take care.
That happened to me when I was about 6 I think. Glad she'll be just fine soon!
So glad it is "simple". Although with a little one, no matter if they are 3 mos or 3 years...it is so hard to watch them be sick.
Whew....so glad to see this update as I have been checking all day. I was so worried about meningitis after your last post, but I'm glad to see your doc was able to see her. Crazy about the bladder issues as I had no idea it could indicate strep!
Either way, I hope the strep comes back negative (although even positive is better than the could have been's), all was just a fluke and she is feeling better tomorrow!
((hugs))
Your doc doesn't have the rapid strep test? Boo! Those results are ready in 5 minutes!
Anyway, hope she feels better soon. Strep is awful...our house goes through it a couple times a year, and its no fun!
Whew - I've been thinking about you all evening.
Now..onto read your next worry.
whew, that's good. Not that she's sick but that it isn't something more serious. Baby that girl!
So glad to hear that all everything is ok.
Now lets get you through this next ultrasound.
I'm so glad she's okay! That is scary!
Poor Miss Al! So glad you know it's not too serious.
So glad that she will be OK. What a relief.
I'm so glad to hear she's okay - Strep sucks but thank Gawd it's just strep.
Thank you for the update Nancy -- I'm so relieved!
XO
Pam
SO glad she is OK! Been thinking about you all!
I hope it's not strep, but I'm glad it's not anything worse. Maybe it's the same thing you've had the last day or so. You guys get better soon.
Glad it isn't something more serious!
Hope she gets better soon! Strep just plain sucks!
Whew. I'm glad it's not something too serious.
Thank goodness she is ok. I was very worried as you were I am sure.
I went right to the meningitis worry when you posted re her neck. I'm glad she's okay.
