 * Brief Summary:** A baby has developed a fever. On Sunday afternoon in November, Malyia Jeffers parents gave her a children's Motrin and kept a cautious eye on her throughout the night. In the morning they had woke up to check on Malyia and her fever had shot up to 101 degrees. After that some symptoms also started to appear."I noticed bruising on her right cheek. She was really weak and could hardly walk, says her father, Ryan. He and his wife, Leah, drove Malyia to the emergency room at Methodist Hospital, five miles from their Sacramento, California, home."To what the Jeffers said "a triage nurse briefly examined their daughter and said Malyia most likely had a virus and a rash, and told the family to wait." So they waited but as they waited Malyia got worse.The fever went from 101 to 103 degrees.Plus the fever had jumped again from 101 to 103. The only thing the Jeffers wish was "I wish I could have kicked in the doors." Would you kick the doors to save you baby?


 * My reaction/opinion:** When first read this I was worried and scared for the parents but when they finally found out what Malyia had I was surprise because had never heard of the disease. I wonder will she make it.
