Fever broke!
Almost 17 hours later and her fever finally broke! It’s not gone, but it’s down almost two whole degrees! It was getting so bad that I could have cooked an egg on her! I’m serious!
Now that she’s feeling a little better she’s been more vocal about the medicine.
She’s also eating more. I got half a serving of squash, a whole serving of banana/plum mix (eww), and two ounces of oatmeal down her today so far.
She also let me sleep!!! I feel human again!
We both took a nap from around 8:00 AM to 11:00 AM. Ah.
I just cancelled physical therapy, occupational therapy, Chelsea (who does Lali’s stretches) and her Early Start evaluation tomorrow. Last night I cancelled what would today have been her first morning with Phyllis. It’s strange to do nothing on Tuesdays since usually we spend every Tuesday at Children’s Hospital. I’m feeling a little truant.
I put her favorite bird bath toy in front of her and she squealed, “Ga ga gwa!” I was listening closely to see if her throat sounded sore, but I can’t tell. Now she’s busily grabbing the plastic pieces out of the base of her toy and dropping them off the couch. Every now and then her nose will run and she’ll look up at me and fuss a little. It’s so precious. I just wipe her nose and distract her with other toy. It’s strange to watch her mechanically play with a toy without smiling her head off. Poor little baby.
