Fresh air and fevers

We needed fresh air.


We needed beach air.

We've been laying low, not doing much of anything and that seemed to be what was best for Isla.
Fevers suck.....they make my baby girl sleepy, cranky and not herself. The only thing that was nice were all the cuddles. Isla is a cuddly girl as it is so we had lots of cuddle time.

The doctor told us it was a virus and it would run it's course. That's what I figured she would say but I wanted to make sure it was nothing serious. The fever got high, too high for my comfort level. When the fever reaches 104.5 you try not to panic. You want to run to the ER, you want to run to the phone and beg for answers from the doctor. We stayed calm, we got the fever down within 10 minutes and we were able to breath.

Does she feel 100% now? I wish she could tell me. She's been fever free for 24 hours so things are looking up!

Your poor little monkey!! I hope the fever is gone for good.. you just feel so helpless as a mom when it happens but you took charge :) and I hope the fresh air helped.

I'm so glad she is feeling better! It's always good when you can finally get them out of the house! :)
