That's One Sick Little Girl

Katherine came down with something bad, and it really whacked her today. Her temperature was up over 103°. Infant Tylenol wasn't really cutting it, so we switched to infant Motrin, and that seemed to be able to control it better. She was also off her eating and drinking for much of the day. We spent a lot of time sitting in front of the Wiggles on TV, because she was lethargic, and clearly felt like hell. Her eyes were all red and running, and when the meds wore off she would whine and moan. It was really sad. Anyway, we finally called the doctor, because we were an hour away from the next dose of Motrin, and she was miserable. The doctor told us to go ahead and give it early, and then, that we could alternate Tylenol and Motrin. So give each every six hours but offset by three, if you follow me. Tricky. We'll see if that's necessary.

The first hint of this that I saw (although Kara picked up on it yesterday), was that she had a bad night last night, and by 5AM, she was in bed with us. She hasn't been in our bed for probably 9 months, so this was a pretty big surprise for me when I woke up - to have a squirmy, now not so little, sick girl in bed. Anyway, I hope her night tonight is better, because today was miserable. If Kara sees the Wiggles one more time I think she's going to lose it.
