The fever and head pain is back. The doctor is wondering if the oral steroids masked the fever and it never really went away. This says to me that the infection is as strong as ever. I really don't think that the antibiotic has worked at all. This scares the daylights out of me. My gut again feels as if I have been punched. I have to keep my thoughts and mind in the present of the fear takes over. My heart breaks that my girl has to go through this and we have no idea what is to come.
Today the Dr. T laid out a plan to finish the antibiotic Friday and keep our appointment with Dr. Sprecher on Tuesday. My "Momma Bear" attitude came out and I told him this was not acceptable. I am not comfortable sitting on this infection until Tuesday. If it is continuing to take over her head and causing her to not feel well we need to resolve this concern. I will not sit back while my baby is in pain. Whatever we need to do to get rid of the infection needs to be tried.
So the plan changed to reassessing tomorrow when Maggie is in for her antibiotics. If there is no improvement or she is worse, we get the ENT involved. I have no idea what that means. Dr. T said it could mean more antibiotics, scoping her sinuses or surgery right away. It all feels to much to even wrap my mind around. I know that tonight she told me that she felt "real sick". My heart just froze in fear. My poor baby is being taken over by whatever this "thing" is in her head.
I don't know what tomorrow will bring. I am just trying to stay in tonight. I will get to tomorrow in the morning. Of course it is already a busy day. We have Maggie's 4 year check up which Dr. T recommended we keep. Then we grab a quick lunch before the antibiotic. Rick and I are supposed to go to a meeting. I have a babysitter coming at 2. This part of the day may change and our journey may take yet another turn.
