Well, I have now made my first trip to the ER with Charli. Very early this morning, she was really restless in bed. I then noticed she was shivering. I felt her head and she was pretty warm, but when I touched her back she was on fire. I got up got her some tylenol and woke my dad so I could get the car keys. I swear to God the man levitated right out of bed into the standing position. He then ran to a 24 hour Walgreens to get a thermometer. Her temp (in the ear) was 104. I knew I had to get her some relief. Both of my folks decided to go with me. She wanted juice and I let her have some as I thought it may help cool her down. Not a great idea as she ended up puking it out all over me. We ended up at the SunCoast Hospital. We had the most wonderful staff helping us. Charli's vitals were taken and she was given some Motrin. They did a chest X-ray since her lungs were congested. She also had a nebulizer treatment. And was diagnosed with a double ear infection. After all of that we stopped at Walgreens to get her prescription. By the time we got back to the condo it was 4:30AM. Although she never really acted sick, you can see the marked improvement in her already.
All in all, for a first trip to the ER it was actually a good experience. I just didn't plan to make our first trip while on vacation. :-)

Hopefully, she'll be all better for her plane ride home . . . I'm sure you'd hate to have to stay a few extra days cuz she can't fly with a bad ear infection!
Glad to hear that she's feeling better already. Amazing how those antibiotics and Motrin work!
Have fun!
