{Feelin' Hot Hot Hot}

Sunday night as we are putting Lauren to bed I realize she feels a little warm...yep...a fever. Ugh. Ever since she had her seizure, I dread fevers. She will be just "warm" (99ish) one minute and "on fire" (102+ ish) the next. So we set our alarms to wake up ever hour and check her...which was pointless. I was so worried about her, plus with my normal minimum of 3 potty breaks in the night, I basically woke up every 30 minutes. We were able to keep the fever down, but all day yesterday she looked so sad. "Mommy...I so tired" or "Mommy I sick." I put her in the bath and she just sat there (very unusual). I was sitting by her on the couch, you know being a good mom and trying to comfort her, then she says to me "Mom leave the couch, go away." So I left (feelings a little hurt!!) and she fell asleep... on her own, I couldn't believe it! When Dean got home, I left to run some errands and I returned to her meeting me in the garage, with her sparkly shoes on (a sure sign she was feeling better!!) So the fever continued but I was elated when I woke at 5am this morning and she was cool as a cucumber! We decided we would take a "jumping on the bed, making messes, causing chaos Lauren" any day over a sick Lauren....being sick is just not fun!
