Wednesday Wren and I were supposed to spend the day with some friends. Before putting her to bed on Tuesday night I noticed that she was feeling kind of warm but she had been running around playing hard all night so I didn't think much of it. Jeremiah got up with her at about 5:30 a.m. and said that she still felt warm so he took her temperature and it was at 99.9. I also woke up feeling kind of achy and with that weird feeling in the back of my throat so I figured that we were both getting a cold. She was fairly whiny all day but very cuddley. We went to dinner with Valerie and Kathryn and she just kept getting warmer and warmer. We gave her some Motrin at 8 p.m. and then Jeremiah took her temp again, it was 104! We took her to RediCare and thankfully her temp went down fairly quickly. The nurse practitioner who saw her said that it could be several different things that was wrong with her. She could have an ear infection, one of her ears was red, she could have strep, her throat was red, she could have a bladder infection. So, he gave us an all over super antibiotic that would help any of those things. She is starting to get better but still has a fairly high fever. It has also been nice because she has slept so much because I have also been sick. Yesterday she slept until 2 p.m., took a nap from 4-9 p.m. then went to bed for the night at midnight. The one thing that I am most worried about is that she has not been really interested in eating, but only wants to drink juice. She won't even drink her milk that she usually guzzles at nap and bed times. hmmmmm.....

Our pediatrician said that as long as they are still drinking they should be ok. If her ears are plugged or her throat is sore then she may not want food, also if she is congested. Also we learned with Mercedez that if she has a temp under 103 then to let her body burn through it instead of giving her motrin becuase it helps to kill the germs that are causing the sickness. It is tough when they are sick for sure. Good luck! Hope you both get feeling better soon!
