T woke up from her nap feeling really hot again. 102.7. She wandered out into the living room, all cranky and grumpy with red in her cheeks from the fever. I go running for the medicine, and she's crying and not wanting to cooperate. After much coaxing, I get the stuff in her and give her some water. I then ask if she wants anything else...
Me: You want something else, baby?
T: Yes, Mama (in a major whiney voice)
Me: OK, honey, what do you want, I'll get it for you
T: (again all whiney) I want something orange and curly. That would make me feel better.
Once again, a miracle took place. As soon as I said OK, but you can't eat them in bed, the kid pops up, grabs her blanket, and says,
"OK, Mama, let's go"
She then hops off the bed, takes my hand, and pulls me out into the living room, and informs me...
"They're in the kitchen, Mama. They're in the kitchen!"

Poor T. I hope she gets to feeling better soon. Fevers are horrible. Mae-Lei's fevers are always related to her ears. We know if it is low-grade we are good, if it spikes up to around 104-105. In to the Urgent care or peds office.
We've been so fortunate. So far, we have not had to deal with a fever. I so dread that.
Happy to hear Taylor knew of something to help her feel better :)
Such a good momma.

We've dodged a fever for awhile now (Sara spiked one last week briefly) but her cough has hung on for days and the doctor says it's normal for this cold and we just have to ride it out. She coughed hard again last night to the point she spit up. Last night when she wasn't feeling great, she let me know that blowing bubbles in the house would help. Naturally, I agreed.
