I hate when Kaya feels puny. She is so rarely sick that we often forget how bad it can be. We are very blessed that she is rarely sick and if she gets a minor bug she kicks it fast.
She started Cmas night with a runny nose and slight fever..by Wednesday morning it sprang to a horrible cough and a high fever. Nothing worse than watching a super active kiddo lay on the couch under a blanket.
She's on day two of not wanting much to eat. Says her tummy hurts but that she's not hungry. Just focusing on letting her drink what she wants (NO MILK!!) and relaxing.
Called the ER peds dr on duty yesterday and he was very nice. Told us we know our child better than any dr do what we feel is right but from what we told him we were doing what we should.
So kid's tylenol on schedule and lots of liquids but the fever stuck with her till this morning. Still not back to normal but the lowest it's been for nearly a day and a half. At least she is up walking etc.
Got ahold of her dr and they had one opening for 3:15. Eased my mind because I did NOT want to take her to the ER. She so rarely sees a dr other than for one case of croup and her yearly checkup that she knows who her dr is and has never seen another one. I was afraid the ER would upset her even more.
So will know more with the upcoming drs apt what is going on. Hopefully just a strong cold that will clear up with some cough meds etc. I hate that she coughed so hard yesterday she broke a blood vessel in her eye. She is definitely my kid lol I often do the same thing.
Steve is feeling so so. Said it's mainly his back and head today. Always worries me when he's sick because his shot ruins his immune system and it takes him awhile to shake things. Then it can mess up that weeks shot schedule etc.
No fun having a sick hubby and kiddo..and not feeling 100 percent myself. Today's goal is to get cleaning done and spray the lysol lol
