Madi.... oh the mess.....

okay well it all started a few days before the 4th of July...
Madi was throwing her food and not eating..
we just thought she was being a naughty little girl and called her a stinker...
She had a runny nose, but no fever.....
Then on the 4th I noticed her throat was covered in white sores...
SO I called Dr. Nally and he said take her to the ER she could have strep throat.....
So we went to the ER and they said "it looks like thrush and since she doesnt have a fever thats what it is" I told them what Dr. Nally said and teh disregarded it.. They did not test her for anything, just said it was thrush... ANd since Hain had said earlier in teh evening that he thought it kind of looked like that, I said okay and thats it. Even though the doctor said it would be weird if had thrush because of her age........but he's teh doctor adn he knows what he's talking about!
They gave me meds for it and we went home.....
SO 5 days later I just felt like something was wrong with her still and I took her to her pediatrician...
I went in and said "I dont know whats wrong but I want you to do a strep test!"
So they did and yes she had strep... At that point I was so mad! My little girl had had strep this whole time! She must have been in so much pain! She was grabbing her neck and saying "ow" and not eating for over a week! I was mad at the ER doctor because they didnt even test her for anything... then mad because I should have demanded that they test her at least for thrush.... they didnt do anything!! I even told teh pediatrician that the ER thought she had thrush and they said children who get it at her age have an immune deficiency problem..... so if the ER doctor thought she had it why didnt they check to see if she had other issues???? UGH!!!!
SO we got her antibiotics and she was doing a little better.
5 more days later I decided to check her throat and she had even more white sores!
By then I was freaking out! I called the doc and they said she needed blood work. SO today I took her in.. They redid the strep test and it came back positive again which the doctor said was weird since she has been on antibiotics for 5 days now!
They also said it now looks like she has Thrush and gave me another medication for that... by which I went to fill and out insurance said they wouldnt fill it because they had just filled on for us.. I then had to explain that my doctor told me to throw it away because she had strep and not thrush 5 days ago!
then we went to get blood work done....... they drew blood from both arms... imagine trying to draw blood from an 18 month little girl who crys at the sight of the stethoscope!!! Not fun by any means! SO hopefully we will get some answers soon!
