Blythe's bug

So Blythe is feeling better now, thank goodness. I think yesterday her fever got up to at least 104 degrees. Seems high, but that girl seems to always get really high fevers every time she is sick. In fact I can't remember a time she has been sick with less than a 103 degree fever. Because it was so high though, we were pretty worried about her last night. Plus she didn't seem to be breathing all that well while she was sleeping. We debated waking her up and bringing her into our room but I figured we'd eventually fall asleep and wouldn't be able to hear her if she was laying right next to us anyway. Probably a good thing we didn't bring her in our room because we might have ended up with vomit in our bed. Instead Blythe came into our room at 2am because she had just vomited all through the hallway. So exciting since my favorite 2am activity is cleaning carpets.

So after that she got to sleep with us. And so I got a little bit of sleep. She slept in and woke up with a mild fever. She felt well enough to go with Daddy to work so I could get some work done, then we switched at lunchtime. You would think after all that she'd be tired enough to nap, but no. So for the 2nd day in a row she watched "Over the Hedge" during my 4 o'clock meeting.

So anyway, she's feeling fine now and hopefully wakes up fine so she can go to school tomorrow and we can all move on with our lives!
