Rachel has been so sick for the past two nights with a good fever going. We finally took her to emerge and the (new) doctor said it looked like she had an ear infection. He was not especially convincing in his diagnosis, but prescribed antibiotics for her, and her fever didn't break until we gave them to her. Poor thing. He also said he wanted her to stay at the hospital until he was sure she was taking in enough fluids (after I had told him she had been doing nothing but taking fluids.) He later retracted that clause and said we could go even though she had not drank anything the nurses brought for her. She was so tired, but did so well. Her poor little body seems so drastically responsive to environmental cues, always with the really flushed cheeks when she is hot, etc. I hope she feels better soon, it breaks my heart to see her like that.
