The Awesome Continues

Yep. M2 kept saying her neck was sore. And she started holding her shoulders funny to protect her neck. And then she got a headache. I took her to the emergency room because… stiff neck, headache, high temperature (well, it was 100 this afternoon which isn’t as bad as the 102-103 we were seeing, but those were recent enough to keep those neural panic pathways well lit), and since meningitis isn’t something you mess around with…

It’s not meningitis, but they said they were Very Glad I brought her in because, like I said above, high temp, headache, stiff neck… They gave her some ibuprofen & TWO grape popsicles. I Cannot Wait to find out how much an ER popsicle costs.

Apparently what happened was this, the glands in her little neck were so swollen that it made the side of her neck sore. She was scrunching her shoulders up funny to protect the side of her neck causing the back of the neck where the shoulder muscles attach to spasm, that in turn was causing a headache.

I can please has weekend now?
