So I started work as scheduled. I was on the phone every few hours checking if the baby was eating and she wasn't! I finally got home after what felt like days and she would not take the bottle. I breastfed her and gave her a break. I tried to get to take the bottle again for about two hours and nothing! She was frustrated and tired and so was I. Finally I just gave up. I went to get them both ready for bed and noticed she was warm so I took her temperature and it was at 101.7 pretty high for a 3 month old. I debated if I should call the doctor. She seemed happy and alert so I decided I would call in the morning. When I spoke to the doctor about the fever amongst all our other issues she suggested I bring her in because she is so young. So I did. When I brought her in I find out that due to a scheduling error I was given the wrong appointment for her shots and she missed her 2 months shots! Oh my God!!
The doctor said that she was now at risk of contracting a bacterial infection and so on. I wanted to make sure she was ok because she had a high fever and cough so we had to take her to the E.R. My poor baby! They had to use a caterer to get a urine sample and they had to insert the needle in her arm for an ivy in case she had to stay. I never heard a baby scream so loud. It broke my heart! Thankfully everything was normal. Until the next day when her fever spiked to 102.3. Luckily my husband would be staying home with her but I wanted to stay so badly but since it was only my 3rd day back at work I had to go. I was an hour late.
