First Off-Isabel's Fevers...



















On a major note, for the past week we have been walking through a faith building experience (for me mostly). Isabel has been having Fevers of about 103.5 for the past week. Last Tuesday we took her into the Doctor', found out it was a viral infection. Then on Friday took her back again, they did all the necessary testing, which was extremely difficult for me. I struggle greatly with fear when it comes to the health of my kids and or/anyone in my family/myself included. This fear has become worse over the years. Yet, God is at work and walking me through this situation, ultimately for His glory and my good! Growing pains...
YET-Praise God-all the blood-test results came back normal that she had on Friday.
Again we were told this was a virus.
We are waiting for the urine tests to back, we should get those results today.
Lastly, a friend of mine who is a doctor took a look at her and told me that she was doing great-despite the fevers-that everything else about her looked fine. So in hope again-I trust the input that the Lord has placed in my life...it gives me hope and encouragement to persevere in trusting in the Lord for the health of my baby, yes, but ultimately trusting in the Lord for who He is, in the Truth of His Word, and what He says He can do! I'm learning, slowly, but I am learning!!
God is kind and good!

Please if you think of it to be praying for the fevers to go away completely!
One last thing...
As Stefan has also encouraged me, he said, "You know, when Kayla was little you would have just thought this would have been her teeth coming in."
(Meaning Stefan remembers teething very well, where as for me? Well...)

Low and Behold I have been aware of and watching; she has two molars coming in at the same time...!?
As a Mom of 5, I should have a sense and a good memory-right? Oh so wrong...I think as each child entered the world, I distributed several of my braincells among them.
all worth it though!!!!

If I recall correctly-teething can be pretty bad and YES, I do believe fevers can accompany that...every kid is different and I don't remember any of my kids having that high of a fever with teething, though I have heard of it happening.

So maybe all of this is because of her teeth???

We shall see!!

Erika, Gracie had the same thing last week. She had really high fevers and absolutely no other symptoms. I finally took her in on day six because i was perplexed, but convinced it was a virus. And of course, it was and the next day she was fine. So hang in there. It is a weird virus and neither of my kids have ever had fevers that high. It was scary.
