How nice of Kaitlyn to pass it to Kiera

So we made it through the night. Poor Kiera started showing signs of not feeling so good yesterday afternoon her temp around 5pm was about 102. So she got some Motrin and we had to run somewhere. She did great through bath time but when she got out of the bath she could not maintain her body temp at all her feet and hands were purple and she was shivering so bad. So we warmed her up with blankets and after a few minutes she was ok. We noticed about a year ago when her body is fighting some type of virus or infection and a fever is present her hands and feet turn blue/purple. Anyway she threw up once then unlike her she crawled up on the couch and just laid there awake, normally she is on the go getting into whatever she can as fast as she can, so I went over and felt her and she was on fire. She had a temperature of 103.6. That was the warmest under arm reading I have ever seen (keep in mind if you take the temp under the arm you add a degree for true temperature) Plus I am so used to fighting a fever with Kaitlyn I forget how you are supposed to treat one on a kid with no medical history. So I called the doctors exchange and they reminded me that the fever is the body's natural way to fight whatever is going on in her body as as long as she isn't too uncomfortable or has no history of this and that to only give the Motrin every 6 to 8 hours and let it work its course. Aboslutely NO baths to try and cool her, I know that's what my mom and her mom and her mom did, but now it's a No No. Now, I know what a fever does, but when the number gets that high it scared me. So I took her temp every couple hours and let her sip on some ice cold pedialite. Her temp went right back up to the 102's or 103's by the time I could give her another dose. She seems to be doing much better now and hasn't had any Motrin since 4:30 this morning and her temp is just a little up and I am so relieved! You'd think with having 3 flu shots my girls would be in the clear but there is just so much going around I think it's darn near impossible. Hope you have better luck than us staying healthy!
