Bye- Bye Convention, Bye-Bye Flu

Saturday night after dinner we were watching the Gator game in our room and Ava got sick and threw up. Poor thing! We thought it might have been because she was coughing so bad. However, after having her bath and putting on her 2nd pair of pjs, she threw up again. So, we repeated the process and it was only a couple of minutes after she had her 3rd pair of pjs on that she was asleep.

She woke up about 3:00 burning up and ended up having a low grade fever. So I gave her some motrin and put her back to bed to hopefully sleep off whatever bug was biting. She woke up without a fever - yay!!! but still didn't look like she felt really good. We decided we would go ahead and drive home so she could get home, hopefully without any problems getting there.

On the way home her fever spiked to 101.5 but dropped back down before we arrived home. Even sick she is still such a happy baby!

Sunday evening her fever spiked to 103.5 and I of course start to panic. Here is my baby girl who hasn't ever had a fever and now she is nearing 104???!!!! We called the doctor and because she is still drinking and eating (and keeping it down) we didn't need to worry unless her temp reached 105 and I just needed to alternate motrin and tylenol every 3 hours.

Fortunately after a good nights sleep she woke up without a fever and has been fever free since. However, I caught the bug and started getting sick on Monday and it has only progressed. It is now Thursday and I am laying in bed feeling worse than I have in a long time. I am trying to look on the positive side and think that we have both had the flu and are now immune to it- but when you feel awful its hard to think positively!

Hopefully we are both feeling 100% better by this weekend since there is a lot of activity going on and I really don't want to miss it!
