Emelia is sick...

Hello. Emelia is sick. She has been sick for the last two weeks. Al was home with her twice the first week. The second day she was not able to return to daycare because she was running a fever of 101.0 We then took her to the Lake Forest Acute Care on Saturday. They ran a rapid strep test, negative. They said is was viral. So, we decided to let it takes it's course. The following Monday, the school would not allow her to stay because of continuous coughing. So, I was home with her (which caused me to lose my job). She then returned to school on Thursday and I was called to pick her up in the afternoon, she was running a fever of 102.5 We took her to the doctor Friday, because all morning she was running 102.0 and that was on ibuprofen and Tylenol. The Dr. ran a rapid strep and rapid flu, negative. She then sent her for blood work, testing her for Mono. I received a call from the Dr office this morning, said the rapid Mono came back negative but her white blood cells are extremely high. She placed her an antibiotic, Omicef. They will call us Monday with the more in depth blood work results.
