Sick babies and flying birds
My daughter has had a fever almost nonstop for the last week. It started last Friday afternoon reaching highs (before today) of 103.5 degrees. I took her to the doctor on Tuesday only to be told they didn't know. The only symptom she has besides fever is a runny nose. When the doctor checked her out the only other thing found was a not so pretty throat. So the doctor tested for strep....negative. So then she tested for flu....negative. She decided that it was probably a virus which simply has to run its course but still didn't like the look of the throat so she put her on an antibiotic. Now since Tuesday her first thing in the morning temp has gone down to just under 100 but today when she woke up from her afternoon nap it was 103.6, a weeklong high. By bedtime she was down to 99.8 and blowing kisses at the baby in the mirror but its scary when the temp goes that high. I'm putting in another call to the doctor tomorrow. I don't think her fever should still be spiking that high after this long. Please keep my baby in your prayers. I also found out on Wednesday that Nate is sick too. He's been snoring loudly and badly over the last couple of months. Lately though its started to sound like he's having trouble breathing and its started to scare me. I went to the doctor to get my suspicion of allergies verified. Not only did she get it verified, she discovered that the poor boy has a double ear infection. So now he's on Claritin AND an antibiotic. Add another one to the prayer list.
Then we come to my Nick story of the day. Grandma has decided that she likes the feel of little feet walking on her back. The other day she asked Nate but he started to get too rough, as Nate does, so tonight she asked Nick. He actually did a really nice job, she said. Well then Nick decided he was done and got off of grandma's back, bent over looking at grandma's back, tucked his hands into his armpits to look like wings and started to say, "Fly with me baby birdies. I'm the mommy birdie." My silly 2 year old then proceeded to flap his wings, jump and "fly" all around the living room. As with most Nick things I have no idea as to the motive or the origin to this imaginative tale only that I'm glad I got to see it. :)
