I don't feel good...don't take my picture!

Jordan has run a fever all weekend. Friday night Mom came over for dinner. She and I were going to go to Heather's candle party. As Mom came in, I was getting a reading of 103 on the thermometer. Jordan got Motrin and I stayed home! The fever broke before she went to bed because it was normal when we checked it.

Saturday morning it was around 101, so I gave the Motrin and didn't really think much more of it since the fever came down so quickly the night before. It was still around 101 that afternoon, but it was relatively close to bedtime, so I wanted to wait and give the Motrin as close to bed as we could. Well, I get the bad mommy award because by bedtime it was 104.7! After we put her down I talked to the hospital nurse on call who advised us to check her temp every 3 hours and give alternating Tylenol and Motrin until the fever was 102 or less.

Finally, this morning it was down to 99, but it took all night for it to creep down. 103, 102...I was pretty well freaked out! I talked to the nurse at our ped's office this morning and she thought it was just viral and could wait until tomorrow to see the doc since it was finally down below 101. I went on to work and J stayed home with Daddy. When I got home she was already napping, but he said that her balance was nonexistent. That's the only consistent symptom we have had with her ear infections--she can hardly walk!

But that didn't stop Daddy from taking pictures of me! Can't he see I don't feel all that great! :)
