Madelyn started running a fever on Halloween. Her fever bounced between 100 - 102.6, depending on the amount of meds in her system, for three days. Madelyn rarely gets fevers when she is sick. She has never had a fever last more than a day. She felt absolutely miserable with a runny nose and nasty cough to go along with her fever. We didn't bother with a doctor's appointment because we assumed they would just tell us it was the flu and send her home. We've been told that most doctor's aren't even testing for H1N1 anymore because that seems to be all that is going around. She has been vaccinated for the seasonal flu but this could have been a different strain of the virus. We won't ever be 100% sure that is what she had but we have our suspicions.
H1N1.....or......
seasonal flu.....
Either way, it was pitiful sight to see.
But, I'm happy to report that Madelyn's fever finally broke this morning and she has been fever free ever since. We are still keeping our fingers crossed and hoping that she is over the worst.
