My baby girl!

Wow, what a week of fevers it's been! Phoebe has had a fever all week, on and off. I think the highest it got was like 103.7 so I knew it couldn't be because of teething. On Sunday night I noticed a rash on her and so on Monday we went to the doc and she had hand, foot, mouth disease and she got that from a friend's kid that came over last week that had it but his mom had no idea he had it yet. So she was fine, just a little rash. Well starting on Tuesday morning she woke up really really grumpy and irritable and had a fever. So I gave her tylenol and 2 hours later she still had the fever so I gave her motrin and that got it down. Then she had a fever again that afternoon so I gave her some motrin and it went away. Wed morning she woke up and seemed fine so I went ahead and brought her to gymnastics. Then the fever came back again that afternoon, OH MY GOODNESS!! And whenever her temp got high then she would just get really cranky, like her whole mood would just change. So on Thursday morning when she woke up with a 102 fever I called the nurse at the doctor's office and she said to give her one more day, maybe she just picked up another virus somewhere but to go ahead and come in if she still felt bad on Friday. So she was okay on Friday morning but then all of a sudden about 10 am it came back, gave her some tylenol it went away and we ate lunch and I put her to bed. When she woke up she had another fever so I called the doc and they said they could see us in 30 minutes. It turned out that through a blood test and urine test, the doc thinks she has a bladder infection. POOR GIRL! Now I understand what all the fits and whining and crying was about. I'm glad I kept my patience with her all week and never got on to her for anything and I'm so glad they figured it out. So now she's on antibiotics, which she loves to take and asks for more when she's sucked it all down, and we're on the way to recovery. Yeah!

On Wednesday night when she felt really bad she kept yelling that she wanted to go the park and the "sides" (meaning slides) but we could tell she so didn't feel good and would just daze out so we told her not tonight, we'll go tomorrow and she just kept saying it over and over. Even when she feels bad, she still wants to do the fun stuff. Maybe she thought it would make her feel better. Who knows.

Yesterday when she was getting ready to take a nap she requested to "see Grammy", which is my mom. So I told her she had to take a nap first and then maybe we'll go see Grammy. So when she woke up and I went in there she sat up in her bed smiles and says "see Grammy." It was so cute, that's the first time that she requested to see my mom. So after we went to the doc we went to see Grammy and Phoebe loved to see her!
