Fever Virus...Ugh!

MG went to bed last night with a low-grade temp, but I just assumed it was teeth. I gave her Motrin before bed and hoped for the best! She moaned and wimpered all night. It was pitiful. She woke up this morning burning up with a temp of 103.6. She was so lethargic and not herself at all. She wouldn't leave my lap and just layed there. The ped. said there's a fever virus going around and to keep her hydrated and keep the Motrin/Tylenol going.

We layed in the recliner for about 3 hours! Seriously, we never moved. I think I dozed off more than she did! I fixed her some lunch around noon. She wasn't really interested in eating, but she did drink a little water for me. After lunch I put her down and she actually sat with her Little People and attempted to play a little, but it lasted all of a minute! I picked her up and sat down in the rocker and she instantly went to sleep. I put her in her crib, but she woke up about 45 minutes later crying. She was sitting up, facing the wall, just crying. She wasn't fully awake, just miserable. I took her and layed down with her in my bed and she slept 2.5 hours longer.

She woke up around 4 and obviously felt a lot better. Her fever was down with the Tylenol/Motrin and she was more alert. We went into town to get some frozen yogurt because I knew she'd eat that! And she did. She loved it. We got pineapple and cheesecake with strawberries and blueberries on top. It was so stinkin' good! She was in such a good mood so we made a quick stop at TJ Maxx and headed home.

It was already close 6 when we got home and I hadn't even thought about dinner so we all jumped in the truck and went to our favorite chinese buffet. We needed something that was ready right then! Right after we sat down, my sis and her family came in! They got to sit right next to us. MG was SO excited to see her cousins! She ate really good. Her favorite was the canteloupe, honeydew, and strawberry jello! She kept trying to stand up in her highchair so I'd tell her to "sit". Everytime I said "sit" she'd say it right back to me! It was too cute!

After dinner we ran by my parent's to drop something off and let MG play awhile. Then we headed home. As we were walking in the front door, I said "knock knock" and I'll be danged if MG didn't repeat that, too!

We played for a few minutes until MG gave me the cue for bed - she crawled in my lap and cuddled up!

Another good day with the loves of my life!
