Sick Household

Lily came down with a low grade fever on Saturday night and then on Sunday she developed a rash on her face, trunk and arms. I gave her some Tylenol on Saturday night and she stayed afebrile since. Her rash has finally faded completely away as of today. On Saturday and Sunday nights she kept waking herself up crying. Finally on Sunday night early Monday morning at 2:00am I gave her a bottle and put warmer jammies on her and she was able to fall back asleep. I cuddled with her in our bed and on the couch but nothing was making her happy. She just whined and whined. I knew she wasn't feeling well, but she wasn't sick enough to bring into the doctor. I am hoping the rash was a reaction from her one year shots. Poor baby. Then...I had been feeling fine...just a little sneezy, but Monday night at work going into early Tuesday morning something hit me. I was pale, feverish, and achy. I did not feel well at all. I left work at 5:00am on Tuesday morning and thankfully Jason was able to use a sick day to stay home with Lily on Tuesday. I stayed in bed all day Tuesday and on the couch all day today. I called in tonight to work because I still don't feel well. The fever is gone, but still achy and just plain don't feel well. I hope this isn't the start of what lies ahead this fall and winter! I don't care about myself not feeling well, but I am so thankful that Lily is getting back to her old little self! It is so hard to see your child not feel well and not be able to tell you what is wrong. Anyways, Happy and Healthy Fall to All!
