First ER trip...

for both girls. Big UGH!

So they had their vaccines yesterday and it's normal to have a temperature. Well when they woke up to eat at 3am they were both hot. So we take their temps and Mallory's is 102.9. Ouch! Samantha's was 100.4. So I called the on-call nurse at the pediatrician's office. Give her all the information. Let her know they just had their vaccines. She tells us to take them to the ER. Anything over 100.4 they would recommend go to the ER. Not the local ER either. Cook's Children's in Fort Worth.

So we head out there after taking Raegan to my mom's house. They check us right in and the doctor basically came in and said they should never have sent us to the ER with those temps. They say anything over 104 goes to the ER.

$200, 3 hours, and 2 sleepy babies later, we are not happy campers. I have a call into the doctor's office to see what the hell the problem was and why they would recommend an ER visit for those temps. Mallory's I can see but Samantha, no. I'll let you know what they say.
