Day 5 of infant flu 5/4/09

A few days ago I asked if the seemingly betterness of cc was her actually getting better - or the calm before the storm...and now i know...it was the calm.

Today cc started her fever. This am i took her temp, 97.9 . Thought we were going to get lucky. Fed her breakfast, played, but the fussiness presisted. So, i thought, ok fine, i'll do the temp again. Sure enough, 99.6 . I braced myself for the worst. Found the tylenol bottle immediately - and then thought....how much?! The bottle only lists for 24lbs or up - and cc hasnt taken tylenol since 2m - so obviously her little body could handle a bit more - so the dr i call. Nurse says .08 for 12ish lbs. asked a few more obviously first time mom questions before getting off the phone. Then i remembered a question i forgot to ask. o well right?

So, off and on all day, back and forth - 99.6 highest so far - 98.0 being the lowest during the tylenol dose. We are continuing that...praying the storm will pass soon.
