Not Feeling Well

Kayleigh has not been feeling very well the past couple of days. :(  She has what would be considered the "common cold" but for her seems magnified.  Her temperature went up yesterday to 100.7 and so we thought we were on our way to the ER.  When I called and spoke with the doctor on call, he said to call back if it reached or went above 101.  I was following my notes when I called which said 100.5 at the beginning and end of an hour was considered a fever, but have to say I'm very relieved we didn't have to go to the hospital.  Kayleigh doesn't have a fever this morning, but was woke up by a severe nosebleed.  I've never seen anything like it.  Not to gross you out, but it was fountaining and squirting out.  I think it scared her, me, and her dad.  We were able to get it under control within 10 minutes or so.  I sure hope we don't have anymore of those to deal with.  I also hope it doesn't mean her platelets might be low, as I think excessive bleeding can mean that.  Hoping it's just all sinus issues and possibly the dryness from our furnace.  Please say a little prayer for her that she gets over this cold quickly and is able to continue with her treatment as planned on Thursday.
