Worn Out!

The past couple of days at our house have been, well, sick. Kristin woke up Sunday morning complaining of her throat and ear hurting. Soon after she drank a little hot chocolate and no breakfast (that's never a good sign), she asked if she could go back to bed! I told her of course she could and I took her temp...101.1. Great. So, I dosed her up with Motrin and tucked her into bed. About an hour later her temp was 102 and she was nauseous. During this nauseous time she insisted on sleeping on her floor. And there she slept for a few hours. Here she is camped out on the floor. Chris asked why I took a picture when there was throw-up in her bowl, but it's just the bunny's leg under the bowl!



She finally got back in her bed and slept all day long. No eating or drinking, other than a few sips of sprite, which she couldn't keep down. Around 8:30 her temp was 103.9...yuck. I started alternating doses of Motrin with tylenol, which worked pretty well. Monday morning we got in to see the doctor, who confirmed that she had a bad ear infection and the beginnings of strep throat (she said her tonsils were huge). Yesterday her temp seemed to be going down, but started back up again last night. We stayed home again today and her temp is now 99, which is much better. Tomorrow is her birthday and she wants to be at school tomorrow, which I'm sure she will be. Saturday is her party, so hopefully she'll be completely back to normal by then. For now I am worn out and need a nap!
