ok maybe it's Rotavirus

Hannah woke up at 4:45am and she was on fire.  The ear thermometer we use said 102.9 but I think it was higher.  Hailey and Emily woke up 5 minutes later so I put all 3 on the couch and gave Hannah some CVS Brand Tylenol.  Since the doctors office doesn't open until 9:15am we decided to take all 3 to the Children's Hospital.  So we get changed and change them and pack their bag and and and.  7am heading to the ER oh what fun.  Ofcouse we get attitude from the desk person, "they all need to be seen", said in a very here comes another family using the ER because they have no insurance voice.  As soon as the person found out we do have insurance they got a little better attitude.  The nurses and doctor we saw were excellent, no complaints there.  They treat everyone great you just have to get past the front desk staff.  Anyway the doctor took a look at the girls and think they have Rotavirus.  Luckily Hannah pooped while we were there so they sent it to the lab right away for tests.  Short story is it just has to run its course.  Fever should go away in a day or two and we get to enjoy diarrhea for another 4 weeks.
