eleanor update

last night around 9:45pm the doctor called
and told us to take eleanor to the ER for a shot of antibiotics
because her urine had grown bacteria
and she thought she probably had a kidney infection
and without immediate antibiotics she could have kidney damage
and we were supposed to make an appointment for eleanor
at the office today
to get a kidney ultrasound and more antibiotics
but when we went to her appointment
the doctor was more concerned with her rash
that started on monday just on her face
then yesterday it spread down her stomach
and today it's reaching her feet and arms
so he thinks it's roseola
it's still not 100% sure
they have diagnosed her with four different things so far
none of which she necessarily has
but if it is roseola, it's not too serious
and she's about over it
the rash means her body has fought the fever and won
and she won't get another fever
but if it's bacterial, her fever will return
when her shot of antibiotics wears off
we'll see

Oh I hope it's Rosela! Definitely the better, of all other options. I hope she's on the men's soon :(
