After a wonderful weekend, we were feeling like maybe our bad luck of the last month and a half was finally changing. And then Maia woke up with a fever yesterday morning. Not just a little fever, her temp was 104.7. We checked it at least 50 times in the next hour. I mean... could she seriously have another bug? We've been sick for a month, she just finished antibiotics, the sun was finally shining... The nurse at her pediatrician's office instructed me to watch her for 24 hours, and if she woke up with a fever this morning, I'd need to bring her in.
We took it very easy yesterday, minimizing our activity to a desperately needed trip to the grocery store and a desperately needed walk for Gritty. Even though she was battling the fever, Maia stayed in great spirits for most of the day. We crossed our fingers at bedtime... Alas, her temp was 102.7 when she woke up this morning. And so... it was back to the doctor's.
The final verdict? She's got another bug, and it should hopefully be gone by Thursday. Sadly, though, we had to cancel all our fun activities for today- a playdate with our dear friend Abby, whom we haven't seen since January!, and an Easter party at Lia's. Maia actually seems to understand that she's too sick for either, but she's still disappointed. Hopefully lots of hugs and cuddles with Mommy will make her better, and we can get back to life!!!
