Sickly kiddo

Well today of all days, the sun is out, the weather is gorgeous and what happens? Our very own daughter gets sick! Poor little girl. Last night after dinner she looked a bit off. She said she had a headache and her throat hurt a bit. Then she said her tummy was achy. So she rested and eventually went to bed, still complaining about above symptoms.

Then she woke up this morning and was almost in tears saying she still didn't feel well. Her tummy was still achy and she just didn't feel well. Then I felt her head. SHE WAS BURNING UP! Took her temp and it was 102 degrees. Oh boy, here we go. Let's try not to get any siblings sick because that would suck.

So we gave her a dose of IB and rested. She wanted to eat breakfast which I thought was odd, but who I am I to judge. So she had a small bowl of Cheerios and rested again watching Barbie movies. I took her temp around 930-10 am and the fever had broken. Woo Hoo!! 97 degrees. Excellent.

She was playing more, talking more, wanted to go outside and so forth. Then 11 am came. She started crying more and saying her tummy was achy again and she didn't feel well. So I checked her temperature at noon and sure enough her fever had come back, 100 degrees. No IB until 1 so we waited and she rested and watched movies. But she did eat a little container of Gerber ravioli's for lunch which is wanted.

Then 1pm came, took her temp and the fever was back up but to 102.5!! Gave her IB and now she is resting.. not sure what is the matter. But she is drinking water and resting. So lets hope she gets better. She won't be going to school tomorrow because unlike most parents, I like to have 24 hours once the fever subsides before taking her to school or around other kids.

McKenna is calling me, hopefully the IB is working... oy vey I hate sick kids. Especially when McKenna gets sick. She never gets sick and when she does its horrendous.

Until next time.
