Finally over her fever

Awyn is finally feeling better. Her fever came down Sunday morning, but rose again that night, right back up to nearly 103. Saturday she was hitting 103.5 when the motrin or tylenol would wear off. But yesterday she woke up without a fever, and hasn't had one since. What she does have now is a nice red rash on her torso that should clear up in a few days. I'm taking her to the doctor tomorrow just to have her checked out, as her pediatrician's office kept calling me to check on her over the last couple of days. This afternoon the nurse told me to keep the appt. I made with a local Alpine doctor, and to call and let them know how it when, if any prescriptions get written, etc. I happen to know that the nurse practitioner we'll be visiting has no problem calling another doctor to consult, so that's how we'll do it. We had a great feeling when we picked our pediatrician, and so far, his office keeps reaffirming our choice. Not only did the nurse keep calling, but the on-call doctor was calling after hours (I called him Saturday morning, and he kept following all the updates through the weekend and called last night to see if she was better, and if we had any questions!) So we're happy with our Midland doctors, but sad that they are so far away. Well wasn't that a long story? Awyn seems to have had a virus, probably roseola, but is feeling much better now.
