My poor little girl is sick. Thankfully, we've been blessed with a baby that doesn't get sick very often. She had an ear infection a couple of months ago, but she wasn't even showing any symptoms of it.
Then Saturday night she was whining and felt hot... sure enough, her temperature was 102.5. Not too high, but definately a fever and definately out of the norm for her. A quick call to our doctor said that it wasn't high enough to be concerned - give her Tylenol and keep an eye out for other symptoms that would suggest something's going on.
Sunday morning came the icky poos... and more fever. At most her fever was 104.1, but it's been fluctuating. She was acting... OK... but a little more cranky and tired than usual. And she was eating, but not nearly what she was.
So into the doctor's office we went this morning - and it's official that she has the stomach flu. Bummer. Doc says that it's a little unusual to have that high of a fever with the stomach bug, but otherwise it's completely normal. As she said, it seems that everyone in the county got it over the weekend.
And we had to reschedule her well-child check up for tomorrow. So a more general update will have to wait.
I'm thankful that she doesn't get sick very often, but when she does it sucks.
=(
I am living in the great NW and taking classes for a nursing degree. My husband, the genius, is an engineer. Most importantly, we are proud (and tired) parents of a little girl who will be 3 in February, Catherine Eleanore, and we are expecting another little addition in August.

Poor thing. It's hard to have a sick kid because you can't take away their discomfort, you have to just let them get through it. I guess it's a test for future tough times...like puberty...*shudder*
Are you and Steve doing alright with Sick Babyness? Hope you both are getting rest and doing well. :)
And soooooo jealous about Billy Joel! The concert looked amazing! Unfortunately the closest venue is Las Vegas and tickets were well over $150 each for crappy seats. :P
