Lily and I have enjoyed the last few days outside playing with sidewalk chalk and taking walks around the neighborhood. She started getting sneezy on Thursday and a little stuffed up but I thought maybe she just has some seasonal allergies. She didn't sleep well on Thursday night and then she slept in until 9:45 on Friday morning and then took another nap from 11-1:30 on Friday. When she woke up from her nap she was burning up. I took her temp and it read 102.2. I thought I'd wait another hour to see if it went down before giving her Motrin. An hour later she was up to 103. Weird. She hadn't acted sick and she hadn't been around anyone sick...she's never with anyone but Jason and I. I guess I get a little worked up when she is sick because she is NEVER sick. This is only the second fever she has ever had...the first being when she had influenza back in October. I gave her some Motrin and it brought her fever down. She had a bad night last night...waking up almost every hour whining and crying. When she finally woke up this morning she still had a temp of 101.3. I felt better that it had come down. I gave her another dose of Motrin and she spent the morning playing away like she usually does. After her afternoon nap she woke up hot and fussy and not like her usual self. She just laid her head on me. Hmmmmm. I know kids get sick all the time, but it is never any fun to see them like that. We went over to Pa Mike's and we took her to the park. She played, but you could see it in her eyes that she just didn't feel good. She is all stuffed up with a runny nose. Hopefully it is just a little bug that needs a few days to run its course. :)
