103.6

Our Love Bug is sick.  She has a fever of 103.6, and although it isn't the highest fever to come along in The Shirley household (that record goes to The Mayor who last year reached 105.8) it is the highest our sweet girl has reached.  In fact, this is only the 2nd time she has ever been sick.

She feels like she is on fire.  When I lifted her up to give her some water, her little armpits were just scorching.  Her blue eyes are red and watery and her cheeks are rosy.  The Mayor isn't 100% either...he has some sinus drainage which is causing him to have a nasty cough, so we decided to have family movie night in the basement after bath time.  Love Bug just laid on the couch sucking her thumb while D and I took turns rubbing her head.

Tomorrow morning is The Mayor's post-op appointment with the ENT and then we have Love Bug's 18 month and The Mayor's 4 year well visits.  Sadly, neither are well so they will not be receiving any vaccines, but at least they can get checked out for something bacterial while we are there.

I actually think Love Bug knows she is going to the doctor and supposed to get vaccines because the last time she had a fever was right before her 1 year well visit.  And since she had a fever, they wouldn't let her have the vaccines...so now she will really be behind on her shots...hmmmm....I am beginning to think Miss Priss is pretty smart and possibly faking...hmmmm....well, obviously not but she does have impeccable timing.

Thankfully D is going to be home tomorrow to help with all of the doctor's appointments.  Let the nightmare begin.
