Why do you let me write these things

Well, I had to go and mention that MP hadn't had a fever yet and of course Saturday night she came down with a low grade fever. I knew something was off when she wanted me to pick her up so that she could rest her head on my chest. MP is a lot of things, but snuggle-bug isn't one of them. While she laid there, I noticed that she felt like a radiator. We took her temp. She had a fever, but it never seemed to get over 100. She was noticeably unhappy but would perk up after a dose of Tylenol.

Went to the doctor today and he confirmed she has a virus, and can't confirm whether or not it is chicken pox. It's a possibility, and we'll know within the next few days, depending on whether or not she develops blisters. Just what I always wanted - a one year old with severely itchy skin!

Fortunately the blood draw went much better this time than before and I think trauma was generally avoided.

MP's a bit like a car - as soon as you take her to the doctor she starts feeling better. She hasn't had a dose of Tylenol since this morning and the fever seems to be gone. So, if we can get through the next few days without any signs of chicken pox, we'll just say LESSON LEARNED... Don't blog about things like "never had a fever" or "never had diarrhea" or "never fallen down the stairs."
