Sickness Strikes Again!

Sickness is still here at the Prather house! Our normal wild child has slowed way down this week. Wednesday teething, fever & coughing -Thursday teething, fever, coughing, congestion, then last night we added vomit to the mix.  Chris and I went through 3 shirt changes a piece and Caroline sported all 6 of her 12m PJs.  I did NOT sleep at all last night.  My body wouldn't relax for fear of her getting sick again.

Nana came this morning and met us at the Kid's Clinic.  We waited about an hour and then we were seen by a nurse practitioner.  She asked us questions about what was going on - Chris went through all her symptoms then accidentally said we have been alternating Tylenol and Midol  for her fever.  He meant Motrin so we had a good laugh.

RSV & Flu came back negative. Yeah! but she does have a virus. We just have to let it work out of her tiny system.

Nana came home with us and rocked her to sleep. The nurse said no milk today but keep her hydrated.  Nana gave her a blue raspberry popsicles that she wasn't sure about but reluctantly ate it. She threw up one more time & we gave her water and pedialyte and then she napped in Nana's arms all afternoon.  

This looks like a Sarah McLachlan commercial. It is so painful to watch this little girl be sick.  At around 5:00 she ate and started to feel better.  It seemed like her fever broke.  She even played with her legos and Halloween house a little bit.  I hope tomorrow she can start to be her old self again.
