Hi everyone, I just wanted to let you know what's going on with Amanda. She was experiencing terrible pain Sunday night, so I took her to the E.R. and guess what! A kidney Stone! It was about 2mm in size, and was expected to pass within 12-24 hours. They gave her some pain meds and released her. You'd think that would be the end of the story, but with Amanda, there's always more. Yesterday I took her to the Doctor for a checkup because her temperature was around 103, and now she has a kidney infection (but on the bright side, she thinks she passed the stone!) The doctor gave her some antibiotics and told her to get better. You'd think that would have done it, right? Guess not though. Her fever is still going between 103 and 104. We've tried everything to get her fever down. First there was ice water. Then there was popsicles. We've even thrown in Motrin and a cool bath. The lowest It's gotten is 101.1, and that was right after she got out of the tub. Within no time it goes right back to 103-ish. If anyone has any suggstions, let me know, thanks!

Praying for you Amanda. Please keep us updated.
Call the doctor back Jacob...and keep fluids flowing thru her...pedialyte maybe???
Don't want her to get dehydrated !
But 3-4 days with that kind of fever??? I think the doc should know.
For sure call the dr. I have seen people hospitalized with these kind of symptoms, for IV antibiotics. (I'm a nurse).
She hasn't been eating either. I finally got her to eat some bread and a few chicken nuggets, now her fever is staying around 100.5. She says she's feeling better, but has a terrible headache. Hopefully this infection is reaching it's end.
You are in my prayers. Sue
