hot, hot, hot

Adler was sent home from school on Friday with a fever. it did not surprise me in the slightest. so i took some work home and got the girls and we went home had some Tylenol and lunch and they took a nap. i kept the Tylenol every 4 hours but since she was only getting up 1x a night she was sleeping longer than the 4 hours. so when she woke up on Saturday morning she was on FIRE. i took her temp and it was 103.4, that is when i started freaking out. i kept applying the Tylenol and gave her about a 1/2 dozen luke warm baths in the kitchen sink. besides being extra snotty and a little grumpy she was ok. she was eating and drinking and peeing and pooping and not lethargic so although i hemmed and hawed about taking her to urgent care i ultimately didn't. i did get some advise from mam-maw that she got from Ethan/Ellie's doctor to alternate between Tylenol and Motrin. so i had daddy run right out and get some Motrin. Adler was already in bed with a Tylenol dose at this time so i had to wait for her middle of the night feeding to administer the Motrin. because she was so hot i had her sleeping in a onsie and because she was not feeling good i was letting her sleep in bed with me. so at about 4p i woke up and put my hand on her and she was cold. Amen! the fever broke. fever did not return on Sunday. so she is back at school today. still very snotty but not so hot.
