ER

Kana had her 1st trip to the ER early Sunday morning. We had to go back in to see a Pediatrician today when her fever spiked again. Kana was miserable, screaming and crying all morning and I was fortunate enough to be on the receiving end of her regurgitated breakfast all over my shirt. I am so glad we have a washer and dryer and Kiwi to clean up after her. After a short nap I got a bottle and some Tylenol into her and once she got to Kaiser she was all smiles for the doctor. He said she looked like the Gerber Baby. Kana certainly knows how to behave in public. She got two big shots of medicine to the legs. Test results should be in tomorrow night, so we will find out what she has, but they suspect a kidney infection. She has been throwing up and running a high fever for 3 days now. Poor little baby. She's having a rough time. Her arms are purple and splotchy because the ER nurse couldn't find her vein for the blood tests with all the rolls in the way. Now she has two swollen red legs to go with it. She's really tired of being poked and prodded. Lets hope the antibiotics work and she gets better soon. She has bursts of energy and smiles from time to time, so we hope she is feeling a little better.
