My sick little Bug :(
For those of you that didn't see these sad little pics on Facebook, I thought I'd post them here. Yesterday (Thursday) she woke up whimpering quietly in her bed with tears silently rolling down her cheeks, so I knew something was up. I still went to work later in the day, but then got a call from Josh that her fever was climbing to 103.2, even with Motrin. So I left work and we took her to the doctor, where they told me it was most likely a virus going around that would take 3-5 days to run its course. They said her throat was really nasty looking with blisters on it and blisters inside her cheeks (apparently a clear sign of a virus). So, sadly, the only thing we were told we could do for her is keep up on the Motrin and try to not let her get dehydrated---which is easier said than done when she won't even take her bottle. Anyway, we assumed her birthday would be canceled; however, she is Super-Immune-System-Girl and woke up today with a lighter fever (100.1), and with her usual sassy attitude in full effect. She hasn't eaten yet today, but at least she drank a little water and some rice milk. As much as I secretly loved how she snuggled into me all day yesterday and last night, I love even more that she's feeling better :) That was the first really scary experience of being a mom with a REALLY sick kiddo and I'm glad it's over!! It was literally as if she was in a coma with her eyes open yesterday! She was just a rag doll, staring straight ahead, drifting in and out of state of wake, and not eating, drinking, or saying a word. I'm not even sure she was aware when she was in the car all the way to the doctors office in Madison--she just stared straight ahead with her mouth hanging open. Poor baby!!! ANYWAY, it seems to be over and we will still celebrate tomorrow and hope for the best :) Oh, and as you can tell by the pictures above, Bailey LOVED the heat emanating from Taylor Bug!

Oh no!!!! So sad-- she looks like a little cupie doll in those pictures with the rosy cheeks and red nose. That would freak me out if the Bub was non-responsive like that. I'm glad she's feeling a little better. The silent tears break my heart! Her throat probably hurt too much to make a sound, poor baby. :(
ReplyDeletePoor baby. I'm glad it did not last long (I'm typing this later). Again, Bailey steals the show.
