Sick...Again...No, I'm not kidding

Okay, so no pictures (again) this time. I have to report that today (March 21, 2008) my precious baby girl was swabbed positive for the flu. No. I'm not kidding. It's the first day of spring and Copeland has the flu. It's Easter weekend and Copeland has the flu. Let me tell you the story. I picked her up from daycare yesterday and she was fine. Thirty minutes later when we got home I noticed she was warm. I took her temp and it was 102.7. Okay, no big deal. Tylenol is our friend. It came down to about 100.3 before bedtime. However, that is when the real fun began. At midnight her temp was 105. More Tylenol, juice and a tepid bath. It came down to about 103. At 7:00am her temp was 105.9! Are you joking you may ask, but no I am not. Off to the doctor. We get to the MD's office at 8:15am. By 9:30am the MD still hasn't come in the room. I took her temp again because her cheeks were so red (yes, I had the thermometer in my purse..what?) and it was 106.1!!!! Normally I don't freak out about temps, but come on...106.1!!! I shot out of the room and asked for some Tylenol or Motrin from the nurses...guess what...the pediatric clinic had ZERO of either! Thankfully, Dr. Maranto came right in. After a good, thorough exam he decided to swab for the flu because "She has that look". It was very positive. Now as I'm typing this she is asleep on her Dora mat in the living room. Dear Lord my baby needs a break..and so do Josh and I. Keep us in your prayers please...again. Have a Happy Easter and remember why we celebrate the day. He is Risen! Love you all.
