busy week

My 6 month old daughter was admitted to the hospital on Monday with a 107F fever. Turns out she had 2 infections. One was a urinary tract infection (common in babies) and the other was ecoli infection in her blood. So as a result my poor little one has been in IV medications. Docs have no idea how she got the ecoli infection because usually its in the urine as well but that was not the case in this instance. The good news is that shes been fever free since yesterday! Doc's said that she has to be fever free for 7 days to 2 weeks before they are going to release her. My wife and I hope its before x-mas!

Anyways off i go back to the hospital!
At least this hospital has free wireless to keep me entertained!

Glad to hear she is doing better. Getting the fever down is the hard part, and since that has been accomplished they only need to keep it off which isn't so hard. Good luck, and I am sure you will have her back before Christmas.

hope she gets all better..and yeah use the wireless to keep your mind off it some.

I will keep her and your family in my prayers nightowl.

107? Your not exaggerating now are you? Her brain should be fried.

During my last heart operation, I got a staph infection off of an IV line and I soared to 106 and was on deaths door.

Praying for you and your family.

Wow....good to hear her fever is broken for now. Xing fingers she returns home soon!

107 is very high. It is definately good news that her fever broke. Thank God!!

doc said her temp was 42C which is about 107F

I was talking to the doctor about that. He says that babies can withstand higher temperature fevers then adults.

I know how deathly sick I was. I can't imagine 1 degree hotter. I'd of blown the brain for sure.

Kids are very very resilient. She is fine!

Yes she is.

I hit roughly 105 myself when I was less then a year old. Can't imagine what I would do if Zachary or Morgan got hit with something like that. How is she holding up right now?

Wow! Sorry to hear that nightowl... that's quite a plateful!...but it sounds as if she is in quite efficient hands. Musta scared the daylights out of your family. Prayers for her continued recovery going up from this house as well!

wishing you guys the best

sounds like she will be ok , keep us updated

Hoping for the best. Get her home by Christmas!

Sorry to hear that man.
All the best, I wish her speedy recovery, prayers sent.

Good to hear things are getting better and I'll continue to hope everything steadily improves.


Body temperatures tend to drop as you get older. 36.6 C is normal for an adult but 34, 35 C is not uncommon for an elderly persons temperature. That being said a higher temperature for a child is also to be expected which means when they do have a fever it isn't uncommon for it to be even higher. Just as dangerous though.

shes doing good!...she gone 36 hours without a fever. Still sleeping more then usual but that is to be expected.
