chocolate
janie started running a fever friday afternoon when i picked her up from the sitter�s. it was only about 100�, but that is still a fever. we gave her some motrin and headed for the house. i had to be at memory night by 5:30 and i was so tired. chris had come home the night before, so he was going to keep janie for me that night.
memory night went fine. everyone told me i did a great job.
*whew*
saturday was the family reunion. it was at peggy & paul�s house. janie and i got there around 10:30 or so. she was in an ill mood, but had no fever. she perked up once she saw there were other little kids to play with. she laid down for a nap around 1 and when she woke up she was running a fever of about 101�. i took her home and put her back in her crib (after giving her some Tylenol, of course).
that night i noticed a few little red whelps on her arm. and one on her face. i just figured it was mosquito bites.
and then on sunday they started multiplying. her fever got up to 104� and she was acting VERY strange. by 5 o�clock on sunday, those 4 little red welps were covering over half of her little body.
the emergency room doctor said that it was more than likely a virus. A VIRUS? i HATE that word. a virus is something you cannot kill. i thought it was an allergic reaction. NOT A VIRUS.
anyway, after 1600 milligrams of Tylenol and a shot of benedryl, we were on our way home. and by 45 minutes after the shot, janie looked like herself again.
THANK GOD.
the sitter hasn�t called me today to let me know that my child looks like a leper. so i really, really, really hope that means the whelps didn�t come back.
you know what i want right about now? some chocolate. yep. that would be really nice....hmmmmm......
xoxo
tell me i'm beautiful...
