Pretty, Pretty Patient

While I usually only post about happy events, I felt I should post about a monumental occasion that was pretty scary at the time...Joey's first trip to the ER.  A few weeks ago, Joey started running a fever.  It was up and down and bad enough that she would wake crying in the middle of the night.  During the second night of this, Joey woke at 2AM crying.  We followed the routine of taking her temperature, giving her some medicine, laying with her for a little bit and then putting her back to sleep.  At 3:30AM, Joey woke again and her temperature registered at 105.  Having already given her medication and knowing that 105 was the scary temperature threshold, we decided to pack her up and drive her over to the children's hospital to get checked out.  After 3 hours, a full check-up and an entire viewing of the animated movie Cars, it was deemed that Joey just had a virus and could go home.   Exhausted and relieved, we headed home but not before snapping a few photos of the adorable patient to memorialize the drama of the day...
