the verdict

Lydia had had a fever for four days straight of over 102...sometimes even reaching into the 104's.
It finally broke last night, as soon as I turned my bedside lamp off, at 11pm.

Took her into the Doc's this morning just to touch base - her left eye was a little swollen as of two days ago.

He took some blood - I guess there's some crazy stuff going around in kids who are running high fevers for several days. My 'mommy radar' says it's just a virus we picked up on the road but blood tests can never hurt right?

Poor Lydia has the worst veins. Even their so called 'miracle blood drawer' couldn't find what she needed. They settled for the finger prick and several dramatic melt downs later, they had some blood.

Drama drama drama!!!

She is worn out now and screaming at me for her Barbies as we speak (I want her to sleep instead - I know, so mean).
I am so wanting my 'not sick' Lydia back. I hate it for my kids when they are sick.
