The girlie is sick

Poor Taylor has had a mild grade fever for the past few days. It started on Saturday, never getting above 100.5 degrees would go down with Motrin and she was bouncy and fine. We went to see HSM on Ice and she had a great time, dancing and everything. Silly mommy left the camera in the CAR! I should have ran out to get it as we were in the front row but that's ok. The kids are talking about it still. I digress...

So Saturday evening she stayed with my parents and didn't need Motrin and her temp appeared regulated. On Sunday we picked them up and took her swimming...again, she seemed a little warm but didn't warrant Motrin before the lesson. She then went most of the day and finally in the evening the fever sparked again. She got clingy and a little cranky but nothing too unbearable. Around midnight she was very warm so we gave her more Motrin and rubbed her down with a cool cloth. She slept through the night but was warm this morning so mommy kept her home. Good thing she did, after dropping the boys off at school we went to Wal-Mart to do some shopping. She was zoning a little bit but was a little warm and overall fine.

Then we got home, she watched "Dorothy" (Wizard of Oz) and VeggieTales and played for a bit. She ate some chicken noodle soup and after that was finished. We went to lay down and she was clingy and hot! She slept for a good 4 hours. Mommy is not complaining because she got rest too. She did break out in a sweat which was good because she hadn't done that last night. Then we went to pick up the boys and it's been downhill ever since. Taylor is complaining about being cold yet she's very hot to the touch...fever. There's no snot or coughing, which I kind of wish there was then we could say it's a cold but oh well. During dinner she did nothing but sleep on me and then as we were getting into the car to head back home...she puked all over mommy's car. Oh well...it happens. But she feels better now. Funny how that works out. She's currently sleeping and after another bath she still has a mild fever again but is sacked out!

Tomorrow she stays home with daddy so mommy can work. We'll see how that goes. I will say this though...she stayed dry in undies all day long and did beautifully! She's been sleeping in undies for the past week and is doing well. Only 1 accident in the morning after she woke up waiting for her turn in the bathroom. But she did finish up on the potty. And at school she's been staying dry pretty much all day long. I mention this because when kids get sick, they usually have accidents especially the potty trainers and she didn't. I don't know what tomorrow holds in store for us, I hope we'll get her temp regulated, keep the fever down and she'll get over whatever she has tonight! But I don't know, she had what my mom call "feverish eyes" around 4pm today (glossy, watery, sad and tired looking). She didn't have them until after her fever had broken the first time. So maybe she's cutting teeth although there's no increase in saliva or the change in the weather from cold last week to hot (over the weekend) made her a bit dehydrated and that's how her body is reacting.
