What Next?!

Okay, so apparently Mr. Satan is trying his darndest to have his way with me. Not only am I still fighting off a cold, trying to avoid a bladder infection and dealing with my latest diagnosis and future medical decisions....my kid is sick. She just got over a cold a week or so ago and now since Saturday has been running a high fever. I took her to the doctor today and they are sending a urine specimen to the lab in case she has a urinary tract infection because she has no symptoms and has us scratching our heads. No cough, no runny nose, no ear infection, no teeth coming in (that I can tell...I'm not having much luck looking or feeling for those 2 year molars), no signs of pain. Just stinking fever. Our doc put her on Keflex antibiotic until the results of her test comes back. After her appointment was over we headed to the pharmacy to pick up her meds and of course it's Monday and took forever. So we went and had lunch while we were waiting and by the time we got home her temp was 104.2. I about lost it. She has never had a fever that high. I'm starting to get kind of freaked out, but have just been praying my tail off over her. Give me any illness, just leave my little girl alone. She is still in good spirits and eating and drinking well for the most part, but naturally I worry. I keep telling myself God is in control and everything will be fine. So I'll just keep rebuking the devil and praying like mad. Any bit of inspiration and prayer from my loved ones at this point is definitely needed and surely appreciated. Luvs to all.
