Angst generated by a febrile infant.
Just me.

Keith and Rosie are friends of ours from Sonora, TX. I just like the way their names sound together.
Lyrics
Sick Baby
1. Keith and Rosie had a baby,
Baby got a fever in the middle of the night.
Gotta drive the baby to the ER,
Find somebody that will help us make our baby right.
She's only one month old,
Never even had a cold,
And now her fever's high.
Don't let our baby die.
2. Nurse takes the temperature in triage,
Thermometer is saying that it's one oh three.
Gonna put the baby in a room now,
Blood culture, urinalysis and CBC.
We need an LP tray,
The lab is on the way.
We puncture back and arm.
I hope this fever's harmless.
Bridge
Sick baby, sick baby,
Is there pus on your meninges?
Sick baby, sick baby,
Have you been to the West Indies?
Do you have a UTI,
Or an abscess in your thigh?
Has your brother had a cold?
How I wish that you were older.
3. Baby, can't you tell us what's the matter?
Why do you cry, can't you tell us, please?
Do you have a non-specific virus?
Have you been bitten by a bunch of fleas?
We need a chest x-ray,
The tech is on the way.
The blood work's all been done
And now I sit and wonder.
Bridge
Sick baby, sick baby,
Do you have a big pneumonia
Sick baby, sick baby,
Have you been to Macedonia?
Is your eardrum all aflame?
Does Jesus know your name?
Is your throat a little red?
Oh I hope this isn't deadly.
4. Keith and Rosie had a baby,
Baby got a fever in the middle of the night.
Gotta drive the baby to the ER,
Find a doctor that will help them make their baby right.
She's only one month old,
Never even had a cold,
And now her fever's high.
Don't let our baby die.
