Shelby is still sick. I took her to the doctor this afternoon. Her temp is running about 103, and I can't get it to come down. :/ They did a strep swab, which was negative. Then they drew blood, and said she's fighting a "strep-like" infection. Whatever the hell that means. The doctor said she was calling it tonsillitis, but uh, Shelby has no tonsils. If her fever hasn't broken by Friday, I have to take her back in. They gave us antibiotics for her, and told me to keep her home from school tomorrow, which of course I would anyway since she still has a fever! Duh.
As of now, her fever is still very high. She is being dosed with Tylenol every four hours, but it doesn't seem to be doing much of anything. I don't know what they plan to do if she still has a fever on Friday. I just hope it breaks before then.
So, that's all I know at the moment. Hopefully the antibiotics will start working and her fever will break and she'll be good as new soon. :)

I'm really sorry she's still sick. That's a lot for her to go through, and I hope she's kicked it soon, poor thing.
Thanks, Kim. She seems to be feeling a little better this evening. She's running around and playing, although she's still hot. Her fever has come down some, or at least she doesn't feel as warm as she did. I lost the themometer so I can't take her temperature.
How's she doing today?
We took her to the doctor yesterday, and they took blood again. The dr. said it was looking more like a virus now than it did the other day, but to finish the antibiotics anyway. She was running a slight fever then (99 or so), but today she's back to her normal self. Thank goodness!
