Another high fever

Urgh..... Julia just got over being sick!

I noticed that Julia was a little warm on Saturday and Sunday. I figured she was either running around too much or she was teething again. She acted just find so I did not think too much about it. On Monday she seemed fine, maybe just a touch warm.

Yesterday morning when I got her up, she seemed a little warm. I took her temp and it said it was about 100. She was still acting fine so I thought it as either from teething or from sleeping all cuddled up with her Blankie.

BUT.... I get a call at lunchtime saying Julia is running a fever of 102.5 and that I needed to come get her. By the time I got her home and took her temp it was up to 103. Luckily, she took the Motrin like she used to and I did not have to force it in her like I did the antibiotics. Motrin brought the fever back down and Julia was back to running around.

Unfortunately, the Motrin wore off before the next dose was due, so she spent about an hour on my lap feeling awful.

So today I am home with Julia. Boy, I have been really going through my sick leave lately. Jerrod is working on a big project at work, so he cannot stay home with her.

Fortunately, she is doing much better today. Still running a fever, but it has not climbed as high. Hopefully, it was just a little bug that is on its way out now.
