Virus Shmirus

Things here have not gotten much better, in fact they've been worse. I really thought Monday she was doing better but Monday night and yesterday were not good days. After work yesterday I rushed her to the Dr and she has a 100 fever and sick, sick, sick. The bad part is the Dr. diagnosed her with a virus, just a virus! She said her ears looked good and she even did a strep test just to check. (That was a horrible experience, trying to hold her down while they stuck swabs down her throat...) She said just to watch and if she still has a fever Friday she needs to come back in. Last night we had the worse night ever. She was up just about every 1/2 hour crying and moaning and coughing. The longest she slept was from 12-2. I tried everything... I do think she is a little better today but not much. Even though she's smiling in some of these it's a fake smile that she used to doing when I have my camera pointed at her!

The thing I most worried about is that she's not drinking anything. We've tried just about everything from juices to Popsicles and even milk shakes. I've even been having to use a syringe just to get some drops of water in her. The Dr. said she should have at least 3 wet diapers in a 24 hour period and today we're pushing it....

I feel so sorry for her. I just know she's miserable, especially at night. I swear I got more sleep when she was a newborn than I have the past few nights.

Pretending to watch Barnie.

I really wish tv would make her better. We've tried Sesame Street, Micky Mouse Club, and even Barney (boring, boring, and annoying!)

We're sure hoping she can get better so we can all get some rest!
