Guest guest Posted September 2, 2006 Report Posted September 2, 2006 Hannah just started her first year of school on August 11. She has already missed two weeks of school. The first week they took her outside in 100 degree weather. Hannah is very sensitive to heat and the school called in a panic because her eyes started swelling and she started feeling really bad. That was on a Thursday by Saturday she started fevering the first fever since May. So far she hasn't stopped. Today is two weeks. It appeared she had a upper respiratory infection and was placed on an antibiotic but guess what fevers still here. She seemed better Sunday so we sent her back to school and she came home with 102 fever. She is very fatigued, joints hurting, circles and swelling under her eyes. I am beside myself. I really don't know what to do. She is on Colchicine, Singulair, Naproxen and Cyproheptadine. So I don't know what else to do. I will call NIH on Tuesday since it is obvious Doctors here can't help. For those of you with children in school did this happen to your child? Does it get better when they get used to the routine? I have to tell you Hannah was put in daycare once and it lasted 4 days. She fevered for 28 days straight and ended up in the hospital with all the doctors scratching their heads. It was horrible I was really scared for her then and am getting nervous now. She needs to get her strength back from this. School is important I can't just not send her. Home Schooling isn't an option either since I have to work. Any suggestions would really be appreciated. Prednisone makes her fevers come closer together. Helps her joints but not the fevers so I don't think that is an option. Quote
