i’ve had a fever every day since the last week of january. it is officially the fever that will not die™. i’m on my second round of antibiotics and it’s really, really supposed to be gone by now. if it isn’t gone by tomorrow then i’m supposed to go back to the doctor. great. i wonder what cooties nugget will pick up during that visit. you see, i’m no longer suffering alone.
friday night la nug spiked a fever (and vomited all over me). saturday morning she was right as rain, but it came back just as it did again today. initially i thought she’d caught some nasties at my last appointment, despite my not allowing her to play with the ridiculously tempting waiting room toys. i was hoping my body was just over worked, over medicated and couldn’t keep up with making the antibodies we both need to fight off all the winter ickies. i tried chalking it up to teething. now i can’t help but wonder if she has my mystery fever. aack! what horror might i be subjecting my baby girl to?
