Well today the daughter wakes up telling me she is still tired. I didn't think much of it, so throughout the morning she just laid around. She woke around 9am and it was about 10am I thought I should take her temperature. Sure enough she was running a fever of 100.2

I did the Tylenol, which didn't seem to help at all. I ran and picked up Children s Motrin that was dye free. Our daughter has a reaction to red #40 (she gets all nasty and mean. I will be doing up a section just on Red #40).I gave her Motrin at 4:30pm and sure enough within an hour she was much better! We have gone back and forth throughout the evening with her feeling better and not feeling so well. I think she has a sore throat or something else going on as well.

10pm and she was running a 101.6 fever. I know it's going to be a long night for sure. We gave her more Motrin at 10:30pm and by 11:30pm she was dozing off on the sofa near mommy. She didn't sleep long, and was up after about an hour rest. We watched some tv together and now at 2am, she said she is no longer sick and wanted to go to bed (in her bed even). I checked her temperature and it was down to 98.7. I just hope she is ok till 9am when the doctor's office opens.

I am off to bed just as soon as I know she is sleeping sound enough for me to sneak to bed for some well awaited sleep.
