Kylie & her fevers

As you all know, Kylie has been having fevers every month for over a year. We are really starting to pay attention to all her symptoms leading up to the fever. The "symptoms" drag on for weeks. I can tell it's coming because she starts freaking out at bedtime, being mean, more tantrums, won't eat, complains of tummy aches & leg aches, swollen lymph nodes in her neck, swollen tonsils, sore throat. The worst one is that she will have pee accidents a few days before. She tries to get to the potty but just doesn't make it in time. Then she apologizes and says it was an accident. This breaks my heart. It's not her fault these fevers are overtaking her life.

Curtis (making him go b/c holding her down for blood work last year was horrible) and I are taking her to an immunologist/allergist this Thursday to have some blood work done. If all that comes back normal, ruling out immune disorders, then we will more than likely have her tonsils removed. She will have to stay in the hospital over night and it will be a long 2 weeks of recovery but I'm ready for my baby girl to get some relief. The Ear, Nose & Throat doctor is amazing. He said it's 50/50 on whether or not it will get rid of the fevers but at least the tonsils and any symptoms related to that will be gone. I've read everything I can possibly find online about PFAPA (periodic fevers) and many parents have had success with a tonsillectomy.

Keep Kylie in your prayers!
