Poor Baby

This is beginning to get old...Keira is sick again. Since she started daycare in August, she's been sick 3 times. I know her body is just adjusting to the "new" germs, but it still sucks! The first weekend after she started, she ran a fever and was crabby. After that, she developed a runny nose that she still has.

Well, yesterday we went to Mom and Dad's for a family reunion, and she was great all day. When we got home last night, she felt warm. We put her pajamas on and gave her a cup of milk before bedtime. She drank most of it and then THREW UP EVERYWHERE! We got her cleaned up and she and I climbed into my bed (around 11:00). She ran a fever all night and tossed and turned. Neither of us got much sleep. Shawn ended up sleeping on the couch.

She still has a fever this afternoon (it's been hovering right around 102.5F) all day when the Tylenol wears off. Right now she's sleeping on the couch. I feel horrible for her. She just wants to be held, and she keeps crying, "Mooooommmmmyyyy, Daaaaadddddyyyy" until we pick her up. I know she feels awful.

As long as she doesn't get worse overnight, I'm planning to take her to Aunt Sis's house tomorrow while I'm at work. I really wish I could stay home with her, but I already have to take off Friday to go to the doctor, and I can't miss Monday and Friday.

She's so pitiful...it breaks my heart when she's like this. I'm praying that she starts feeling better soon.
