Pnuemonia??

So, this morning at 2 am. Lucy wakes me up to tell me that she wants water. I go downstairs and get her water, bring it back to her and realize that she is burning up. She has a fever only, no other symptoms. I take her temp. she had a 102.7 temp. So i give her tylenol. So when we woke up, she was still pretty hot, but not as hot as she was this morning. I get Hailey up and ready to school and went to the bank and then to my moms. By then she is hot, and I figure its her temp and us being out in the hot weather. So my mom cools her down with a wet washcloth. She falls asleep and I put her on my mom's bed. My mom feels her ten minutes later and she is burning up.. We take her temp and its 104. So i call the doc..By this time i have to pick Hailey up in an hour and a half. So my mom takes her to the doctor. My mom calls me right after I pick Hailey up and tells me that they are doing a chest xray. She calls me a little after that (by now i am exiting the freeway to the doctors) that she may have pnuemonia and the doc wants to do blood to get a white cell count. So I get there right in time to go in with Lucy to get the blood taken. Im waiting at the door. This lady looks at me and says wow you look different. I am thinking to myself who the hell is this lady. Ive never seen in her in my life.. and then I realize she must of thought I was my mom and went on to tell her how I just got there and she is talking about my mom. anyways, so lucy cried when she watched the needle go into her arm to take blood. I tried to get her to look away, but that didnt work. Anyways, then he wanted an urine sample from her. yea, its not easy getting one from a 2 year old. Done this before with Hailey. Finally after about an hour or so, she finally gives one. So at the end of it, the doc thinks she has pnuemonai and will confirm it tomorrow once he gets the results of the white cell count. If not, then she has some kind of bacterial virus or something. So we will see tomorrow. For now, i will be up all night with a sick, high feverish Lucy. Wish me Luck!!
