Outside of the fever she seemed normal . . she played and ate just fine. No runny nose or anything to indicate an ear infection. I had my fingers crossed that maybe she was just getting a new tooth and that was the cause of her high temperature; but just in case it wasn't I didn't dare take her out of the house.
A few days later on Saturday she began showing signs that she wasn't feeling well and I called the Providence nurses line and they suggested ways to help make Addison a bit more comfortable. The nurse also reccommended that if the fever wasn't gone by Monday to try and get her seen by a doctor.
Thankfully he clinic was able to get her in on Monday morning, even though her fever had broke the night before. The doctor told me that she had an upper respitory infection. He said basically that she had a swollen lymphnode and that it wasn't serious enough to require any medication; but to keep her at home for a week, if possible, because URIs have a tendency to turn in pneumonia. Within a few days of seeing the doctor all symptoms had vanished but we still stayed home for the whole week - no way was I chancing pneumonia!!!
So when Addison was 100% back to healthy we celebrated the 15th of July with Uncle Clint & Uncle Kyle. She even got to wear the 4th of July outfit Tudie (her Great Grandma) had picked out for her months ago!
Here are pictures of her outfit from Tudie:
