sick little girl...

my baby girl is sick, sick, sick! she's been running a fever since sunday afternoon and each day looks a little worse, and fever gets a little higher. as of right now, she's at 100.8. she feels hotter than that, but she's a squirmy little one when it comes to the thermometer. i had to wait until 8pm to give her motrin. she's been laying on the couch since 7pm, on her own, with her babies and blankie. she has just been chilling out, watching a little toon-noons.
i asked her at one point if she wanted to go to bed, she said, "no." i asked her if she just wanted to lay here and watch wubzy, and she nodded her head "yes." the girl knows what she wants. of course right after that i sat down on the floor next to her, rubbed her head and it took her 2 rubs to go to sleep. she's so tired, and so miserable.

guess i'll be calling the doctor's office again tomorrow!

we went in on monday and her throat is really red, but no blisters. negative rapid strep test, so they sent it off to st. johns for the real strep test. haven't heard yet. i called ped's office today to tell them that, as a mother, i just feel it's something else. it just doesn't seem like it's her throat. and i'm worried (scared as hell, really). they said to call tomorrow if no change and that i'd have to bring her back to put a urine bag on her so they could get a urine sample. YIPPEEEE!!! that should be fun!

so...as for now, she's asleep on the couch. the boys are on the other one, watching wubzy until bedtime. jack's ready for bed...jacob needs to get ready...and we're off. pray for her fever to go down tonight and for her to feel better tomorrow, please!!!!


when she's awake enough and sees a camera, she has to smile and say "cheese"
doesn't look so sick here, does she?


just chillin' with her babies (she's almost like octo-mom)


i'm almost asleep....


and she's out!


update...as of 9:15pm, she's laying in my bed, in and out of sleep...but not moving. her temp is 101.4. guess i won't be sleeping tonight...and instead taking her temp all night...it went up AFTER having motrin 45 minutes before (there was usually SOME decrease in temp)...

She's so cute you can't tell the difference between her and her baby dolls! Actually, she's much cuter than they are! Hope she's feeling better soon.
