Sick Baby

Sidney was sick again this week. It was definitely the worst we've ever seen her. She woke up on Wednesday morning with a fever of 101.7. Thankfully Olivia was able to come keep her for us. She seemed to be fine most of the day, just wanted to cuddle a little more than normal. That night her temperature went up to 103.7 right before bed (which is about what it had been with her ear infections/flu). So, we figured we'd just give the doctor a call in the morning.

Well, Sidney woke up at 2 a.m. crying/fussing (which is extremely unusual for her). Her temperature was over 104! We changed her, gave her some more meds, put a cool cloth on her head while we rocked her, and put her back to bed--PRAYING her fever would come down and she would get back to sleep easily. (We contemplated if we needed to take her to the ER but decided we would see if the Tylenol would help before we did anything). Thank the Lord it did! The doctor's office was able to get her in that morning so Bailey took the day off and took her in. Her ears were clear. Then they tested for flu (even though she's already had it) and it was negative. So, then they took a blood sample and determined it was a virus. We just continued rotating Tylenol/Ibuprofen and got some extra sleep. She seems to be MUCH better now.
