Natalie went to sleep around 11p...easily. However, she woke up at 2am and was burning up! When we took her temp, it was 104.1. Bobby placed a call into her pediatrician for advise and suggested we give her the Triaminic fever reducer and retake her temp in an hour. If she still has a fever, we are to give her children's Motrin and check her temperature in another hour. If she still has a fever, we are to take her to the ER. The pediatrician also said as long as we can get her to play and smile that she is doing okay. Her pediatrician called us right back...one of the reasons we like her so much!
Daddy made a run to Kroger at 2:30a for the Children's Motrin...what a good Daddy!
So far, she is still eating good and having wet diapers, just can't seem to shake off this fever.
I LOVE how cuddly Natalie is right now, but I definitely do not love that she does not feel well. Hopefully the medicine works and I don't have to post about our first ER visit at 10 months old!
In between 2a and 3a, Natalie became a crazy nut! You would definitely not know she was running a fever because she was super hyper and playing like crazy.
3am update: Still running a fever of 101.8, but at least it is going down! Gave her some Children's Motrin (which she did not want to take) and fell asleep. We'll see what 4am holds!
4am update: Natalie would not lay down between 3am and 4am, but allowed me to rock her. When we took her temp it was 98.1...yay! She ate 3 ounces and is now sleeping, hopefully for awhile now because she definitely needs her sleep after her long day and so do Mommy and Daddy!
