We had a bout of the sicky ickies in our house last week. It..was...awful! When Lily got home from daycare on Monday I could tell she was getting a cold and her voice was a little hoarse. She was okay most of Tuesday, but by Tuesday night she had a low grade fever. She woke up Wednesday morning with a temp and nasty cough. She was pretty miserable throughout the day. After the Motrin and in between fever spikes she was back to playing and doing okay...as they usually are. We kept her home from Church on Wednesday night and she was up all night long coughing. She would cough so hard she would wake herself up (and everybody else) and just cry and cry. She told me that her chest hurt and her throat hurt...great. Same thing for the next 2 days...fever, cough and yucky nose. For 3 days straight she coughed so hard she puked...same spot everyday...in the kitchen. At least I finally got my kitchen floor mopped:). I usually try to hold off taking them into the peds office until the 4-5th day. If they still have a fever and aren't feeling well I will take them in, but it is always the same thing...a virus that has to run its course and a lot of money!
Avery started out Thursday night with a low grade fever and woke up Friday morning with a temp, cough, and yucky nose. She was tugging at her ear a bit too. They were both better by Saturday and pretty much all better on Sunday except for runny noses. I did not take them in to see the Dr. and I'm thankful that it has ended and that they are on the mend! I'm thankful that I was off for the 4 days they were sick so I could be with them, but I'm not gonna lie...I was worn out by the end of it! I was pretty cranky...Jason can verify that!
