A Virus Strikes!

I have been an absentee from the whole blogging scene because my little baby girl has been sick. The school called Monday afternoon saying she was complaining of her head and stomach hurting and she had a fever of 102 degrees. Of course, I went to get her and she has been home on the couch pretty much since that time! I pumped her full of fluids and gave her some Tylenol and she seemed to feel a little better yesterday during the day. It seems, however, when the Tylenol wears off, she starts with the high fever again. When I called the school to report her absent again today they mentioned that they had 60 kids out the other day with fevers alone. It's funny because I called the doctor hoping to get some insight...I really didn't want to drag Gabi there if they were going to say, "fluids, Tylenol and rest...it's a virus and it needs to run its' course." After explaining that she was running a fever, had glassy eyes, a runny nose, a slight cough...basically flu symptoms...the nurse told me to just keep her drinking and call if the fever goes above 104. It hasn't. This morning though, she vomited and woke up with some goop in her eyes...maybe conjuctivitis. I am not so sure this is the flu...maybe a strand of it...maybe not, maybe just a nasty old virus. I am hoping and praying it clears up soon. I miss my busy little girl...
