baby's first catheter

woke up from my evening nap with a burning fever on thursday. parker came to play so i tried not to complain too much. mommy finally took my temperature on friday and it was 104 so she took me to the emergency room. they gave me some medicine and that made me happy, until everyone started to stick things in my mouth, ears and other awful places. then they needed a pee sample... and they couldn't just ask me to pee in a cup!

the lady said i had an ear infection and my throat looked bad. she gave me penicillin. mom and dad gave me a cocktail of penicillin, tylenol and motrin for a few days and almost took me back to the hospital again because my fever wouldn't go away. then i broke out in bright red hives all over so they stopped giving me drugs until i could go see my doctor Stein on monday. he says i never had an ear infection and my throat looked lovely and that the hives could be an allergic rash. he said to stop giving me medicine. i love doctor Stein. I'm fine now

It looks like you were a very good sport about it all. I hope you got back to normal quickly, it's not fun being sick.
