Little Sickling

I knew it wasn't long before another one of us got sick.  

Poor Ashby was the next to get the bug.

She woke up Saturday morning with a 101-102 fever.  Unlike her sister, though, she was in pretty good spirits upon awaking for the day.

{sleepy girl}

{just kidding!  I'm awake!}

But as the day progressed, you could tell that she was not feeling well.  One minute she would be happy, the next minute the whining & crying started and she was complaining that she didn't feel well or was tired.

Luckily, Tylenol seemed to do the trick.  After each dose her temperature would go down & her spirits improved.

She didn't sleep great Saturday night.  She woke up multiple times & a couple of times that I went in there, she was wet & clammy indicating her fever had broke.  I was hoping that come morning she would be fever free (like big sister was after having a fever for 24 hours).

No such luck.  Sunday she woke up with the same fever, hovering in the 101-102 range.  Again, she was in good spirits for a bulk of the day, but continued to have periods of whining & crying.  We continued with Tylenol & lots of cuddles.

Last night she again woke up several times.  And like the precious night, she was clammy & wet a couple of times that I went in there.  And disoriented.  I couldn't tell if she was having a bad dream or just out of it from being sick.

When she woke up this morning, her fever had lowered to 100.6.  She is in much better spirits today.  Her spunk is back, she is playing with big sister & there is minimal whining, so I am hoping that she is over the worst of it.  The sneezing & coughing have started, but as long as she continues to improve & gets rid of this darn fever for good, I will be happy.  I just want my happy & healthy little girl back!

And now we wait for the next one to bite the dust...
