Our Wednesday Family Field Trip...to Urgent Care

And, the drama continues... Over the past week Bayleigh has been complaining of stomach pains off and on, to the point where she is crying and doubled over in pain. Yesterday afternoon it happened again, except this time she was complaining her head hurt too and within minutes she went from no fever to 101-degrees. 

So, I rushed her into Urgent Care...with Lynsey Jo and Kelci in tow. Of course, by the time we got there her stomach was feeling better but I still had them check her out.  My momma instincts told me there was something going on with her and I was determined to find out what it is.  I cannot stand seeing any of my babies in such pain.  :(

Long story short, they poked, prodded, and pushed on her and weren't able to find anything wrong with her tummy.  So, they don't feel the stomach problems have anything to do with the fever (2 separate issues)...but they couldn't say for sure.  So, I have to watch her and see if it continues.  And, if so, see if I can find some sort of pattern and follow up with her regular pediatrician. 

Our little Angle Face!

But the visit wasn't for naught, while checking her out they discovered she has a horrible ear ache and think she has strep  (neither of which she has complained once about). Ugh. They are pretty sure it is strep but didn't want to put her through the test her because since they are treating her with antibiotics for her ear if it is strep the antibiotics she is taking should cure that too.

It's hard to see our little girl go through anything dulls her spirited soul...

But, there is some scary news too...they heard a heart murmur.  :(  It was a very minor one and they are hoping it is just because she is sick, but I have to take her back in after she is all-better to get it checked out again. This isn't something any parent wants to hear, but we are hoping and praying for the best.  God has always been good to us, and we know His will won't take us where His grace won't protect us.  But, we would love if you all could say a special prayer for our girl too!

I walked into the living room and found the girls sitting together the couch watching TV and I had to snap a picture because I thought it was so cute the way they had their hands in the same position.

Right now I am keeping Bayleigh constantly medicated because the moment it wears off her temperature instantly spikes again... So, so sad.:(
