Another update



Savannah had a pretty good day yesterday. She was a little fussy but that wasnt too bad. However about 11:30 lastnight she had goosebumps so I covered her up with a quilt knowing full well that this meant fever. All my children do this. Sure enough about thirty minutes later she became very warm. I took her temp and it was 103.9!! yikes!! After being normal all day it was quite a change. So I immediately gave her a dose of Motrin, and a drink of ice water. I then put a cool cloth on the back of her neck. After about 15 minutes it came down 1 degree. I continued with the cool cloth but also wet her hair. This brought the temp down to 101, and so I went to bed. Today she is grumpy, and not liking anyone at all to touch her except mom. I have had to change messy diapers about 4 times now so I think she has the flu. She is eating fine and nursing so I'm not worried about that. I just can't take my eyes off her because of this fever. Her temps are normal now, but she is sometimes means as a grizzly!! We had school today but will forego the aftenoon unit study about scent until Savannah feels better. Tomorrow is suppose to be a beautiful day, and we were invited to a picnic with the homeschool group at Rockcut park, but as of now I doubt we'll go. I have a field trip planned for the end of the week to Milton House I am hoping she is well enough to go to that.
We'll see! Take care everyone, the grizzly just woke up LOL!!
