SICK.....AGAIN :(

Well today started out as normal. We got up, got dressed, dropped Sophie at the sitter's, went to work. Sophie really wasn't acting like herself but she didn't seem to be running a fever or anything like that. Well about 9 a.m., I got a phone call from our sitter. Sophie's cheeks were starting to turn red and looking like they were breaking out in a rash. At first, I thought let's watch her and see if anything changes but the more that I thought about it, the more I thought I should get her in. We went to the pediatrician. She was running a low grade temp (100.2) but her ears looked fine, lungs sounded clear, and over all was checking out okay. They looked in her throat and that was a little red so they did a strep test which came back negative. So we chalked it up to a virus that just needed to run it's course. Back to the sitter's we went. In the five minutes that it took to get to our sitter's home, her temp had raised a whole degree.

So I called back, they said that they still didn't need to see her but to make sure we keep fluids going in and watch her temp. If any new symptoms came up, to call. She's been very tired tonight and her fever was still there. She took a small cat nap around 5 and we gave her some Tylenol. She's now playing (12 minutes to bedtime) and seems to be doing okay. We're going to see how she is doing in the morning and if she still has a fever will probably have Daddy stay home with her. We're suppose to go to a wedding this weekend but if she still isn't feeling well then we'll just send a gift to her home and stay home to rest.

Keep your fingers that she will get over this quickly!

Happy Birthday, Sophie! I know, I'm late, but the party looked so cute and fun. Babies sure are fun to spoil!
