Poor Baby.....

Rylee had her first fever yesterday, it was sooooo sad! She woke up with one and it slowly got worse throughout the day, even with Tylenol. Motrin and cool rags. At one point it got up to 103.7, which was very scary! She was so pathetic, did not play at all and slept all day either in my arms or Brad's. It broke my heart to see her this way!!!



We called the emergency line at our doctor's office and they called back right away. They told us several things to do and said if it got to 105 we needed to take her to the ER. I did not know it was o.k. for a baby to have that high of a temp, but whatever, they're the doctors. They also said if she still had a fever in the morning to bring her in.



Through the night her fever gradually came down, but was still 100.5 ( I still consider this a fever) in the morning so I made an appointment. I gave her Motrin at 8:00, so by the time we got to the doctor at 9:30 her temp was only 97.9, of course! Doc said ears, throat, lungs looked great, so she tested for strep and RSV to be sure, both came back negative. By the time we got home she seemed a little better, but still not herself. She played for a good 15 minutes and got fussy. I laid her down and she slept for 15 minutes and woke up crying. I took her temp. again and it was back at 101. From there it went down hill, only sleeping if I was holding her and slept most of the day, good cuddles though.

I hate to see my baby not feeling good and not her happy self! I would do anything for it to be me that is sick and miserable and take away all her hurt and pain!

So I am off now for day two and hopefully tomorrow will be much better. Keep your fingers crossed!

Here are some pictures from the past week

The other night I could not see Rylee's head on the monitor and just thought she was in the very corner of her bed and found her like this...... I guess she wanted a pillow.

Playing with her fun, learning Leap Frog table from Grammy and Papa

Love this face!

Looks like such a big girl!

Helping Grammy with the dishes! Mom said she played with her spoon and the soap door for a good 30 minutes.

Practicing brushing her teeth before going to bed

We met Brad's parents for lunch on Saturday and to look at what hopefully might be our new house. If only someone would buy ours, ugh!!!

This was our poor baby on Sunday, so sad!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Waiting patiently to see the doctor

Hope you feel better tomorrow my sweet baby girl!
