Our Maddie is back after spending the last couple of weeks under the weather. For about a week and a half, we couldn't figure out what it was. She was really blue, had a lack of appetite, was so tired, and was a super needy girl. When she began running a fever with no other visible symptoms, I took her in. She had a thorough exam, a urine cath, Dr. Milnes started her on Tamiflu just as a precaution, and she also had blood work done which was pointing to something viral. But what? We were stumped, her sats were low, the fever kept hanging on and she just felt crappy. After 5 days of fever, it finally ceased and a rash covered her belly and back. Voila, it was Roseola! The boys both had this at around her age and I hadn't even tripped to her symptoms being this. I tend to panic and think it has to be something with her heart instead of focusing on the normal illnesses. She's now rash free and back to her normal self. Since we're still a little stumped to what's causing her increased blueness and low sats, we've bumped up her next cardiology appointment and head over to see Dr. Vernon in just a couple of weeks. In the meantime, we're happy to have the little girl back who loves to...
shake her little booty!!!

i'm glad maddie is doing well! that is a relief! we had the same thing happen about a month ago with a fever and no other symptoms. so of course, we were stuck in the emergency room. they ended up giving emma kate a diagnosis of "fever virus." lol.
Check out her moves! I love it. She is absolutely adorable! I am so glad to hear that her fever and rash are gone. I really hope that the cardiology appointment goes well in a couple of weeks.
That girl has moves--shake it baby!
