I was the first to get Carlie's illness, Jeff started too, but avoided the full blown version, but little Lucy...poor little Lucy. Thursday night started our woes with her, with high fever, crazy fever dreams and vomiting. No sleep on Thursday night for mommy, daddy or Lucy. Friday her fever got as high as 104.5 - and did I mention I don't do well with high fever? I am terrified of the fever seizures that may occur. I had to give Lucy a tepid bath to bring her temperature down. Has anybody tried to give a freezing cold, fever laden 3 year old a tepid bath....yeah ~ not fun for anybody involved. The bath, along with heavy doses of Ibuprofen and Tylenol, we got her temp down. Last night she slept through the night and today her temp has just been skimming 100 degrees, and is clearly feeling much better. She even asked for a bath and to get dressed, I guess days of stinky pj's were getting to her. I am ready for summer!!!
