Reilly’s sick today with a high fever. Her illness is either a reaction to the chickenpox vaccine she had on Tuesday, or “Hand, Foot, and Mouth” disease. I wish I was joking about that last one, but apparently, the HFM disease is going around daycare, and since Reilly catches everything that goes around daycare, my money is on that.
It’s been a pretty terrible Thursday. The problem is not just the fever, but also the fact that my once docile medicine-loving daughter now thinks it is best to spit out the liquid Tylenol/Motrin that I have been trying to give her. Just a few minutes ago, I finally got a full dose in her. For the first time today, she is not alternating between crying and lying lethargically on the bed watching Barney. Instead, she is standing in the middle of the room and crying. It’s an improvement.
Back to my nursing duties…
