It is amazing how quickly things can change. Yesterday we celebrated Pearl's birthday and today she is in the emergency room. Tonight when I picked her up from daycare her skin was red and irritated and her face was a little swollen. The irritated skin is nothing new so at first I did not worry. I took her temperature when we got home and it was 99 degrees. A little later her temperature was 100 degrees. At 9 p.m. I checked her temperature again and it was 102.7 degrees. Also her body was completely red like she was sunburned---really sunburned. I called the doctor and she said to take her to the emergency room because it could be blood poisoning.
It is a little after midnight and Eric is still at the emergency room. They are doing some tests and have Pearl on an I.V. They also want to admit her to the hospital. It is going to be a long night. Eric says Pearl is wiped out and therefore pretty compliant. I can't sleep with worry.
