Last night was our hardest night but I her fever finally broke around 3:30 and she woke up VERY hungry.  It felt like we had a newborn all over again.  I checked on her at 10, 12 and then she woke up screaming at 3:30. I did the first shift-getting her meds and some milk and Shaun did the second shift-rocking her back to sleep.  She woke up at 6:45 today HONGRY-which is a very good sign.

I left a list of instructions for Shaun:

With dosing instructions from the doctor:

Thankfully, I left a smiley little girl:

I just got a text from Shaun that she went down for a nap at 9.  I guess she pointed at her crib :(   She normally only goes down for one nap from 12-2.  So she’s definitely still sick but recovering. 

We went to the doctor last night and he gave us some steroids and I think they’re helping.

Sigh. It’s days like today that I wish I didn’t have to work.  It was really hard leaving her.  With that, I’d better hop to it so I can get home as early as possible.

I’m grateful for really great doctors who care.  I love our pediatrician!
