We had to cut our long-weekend short yesterday to bring DD home to take her to the doctor. She has a bump on the edge of the orbit of one eye- I don't remember her hitting her head there, nor was it red or bruised or anything else we can recall, so we decided she needed to be looked at. They don't think it is anything serious, but they want us to call in two weeks or if it gets bigger.

Today, she was acting a little sedate and then she fell asleep a few hours after she got up, which is completely unlike her. I decided to investigate, and she felt very warm. I took her temp, and she is at about 104 degrees (rectally.) I called the doc and they don't think it is related (neither do I, honestly- I think she got a virus when she was playing with the toys in their office yesterday. I am just kicking myself that I forgot to wash her hands when we left there.)

I just need to give her Tylenol and push the fluids, of course, but she has never been sick (other than mild colds and her relux) before, so it is a tiny bit nerve-wracking. Make the fever go away!!!!

Awww, pooor Maggie. I'm sending healing vibes across the oceans. I hope she gets a nice surprise when you open your prize parcel.

Thank you!

I gave her some children's tylenol about 1.5 hours ago and she has already perked up a bit. Sh drank almost a whole cup of juice, ate a bite of er pizza (what she asked for) and also asked for some apples with cinnamon sugar, which she has yet to eat, but at least she isn't just sitting there staring blankly off into space....
