Fever free

Morgan has officially been fever free for 48 hours and no longer contagious. However, she has a rash all over her torso and part of her face. The nurse on the phone and I decided it was Fifth Disease. I am thankful that she no longer has a fever but she is rather irritable with the rash. The nurse did tell me that she could have the rash for two weeks. She is on the mend and hopefully will be 100% in the next couple of weeks.

I've got a fever of 103...

...actually, it's 102.9 and it's Morgan. Friday night she woke up screaming and I went into her room and picked her up, she was burning up. I couldn't find the thermometer but I knew she had a very high fever. I gave her medicine and when she woke up she was better with 99.7 temperature. I thought she was on the road to recovery until later that afternoon she reached 101.2. I decided she needed to go to the doctor to find out if she had the flu. She was tested and no flu (thank goodness). Later that night after she had been asleep for 5 hours she woke up screaming again. This time she was 102.9. Again, gave her medicine and she went back to sleep. When she wakes in the morning she vomited. About an hour later she vomited again. Saturday was a really long day.
Later that night she reaches 102.7. What in the world is going on with my little one? Again, more medicine. The next morning she wakes and seems much better. No fever and she is playful. Until she starts having diarrhea all day. Her fever stays down all day and she seems to be much better. Last night , she was awake every 30 minutes until I gave her more medicine. I am hoping today will bring back our healthy child with no fever, vomiting or diarrhea. Vince also is sick with a little cold which is nothing in comparison to what Morgan is going through. Joe and I are exhausted but we are hoping tonight will be a sleep filled night. Keeping my fingers crossed...
