well it's been an interesting week. last friday night evie woke up around midnight and had a fever. i dosed her with tylenol, held her for a while and put her back to bed. over the weekend it was a pretty low-grade fever, except for one night at 103.5. on monday, it all seemed to be over. never any real signs as to what the problem was.
flash forward two days.
i get home from work on wednesday and the low fever is back, and she's got a cough like i've never heard come out of someone so small before. sounds like a three pack a day habit. throw on top of that a very raspy voice. think brenda vaccaro. if you're too young to know who that is, think kathleen turner. if you're too young to know who that is, i have no other references, just think awfully deep for an 18 month old (btw, she turned 1.5 on tuesday!).
the terrible cough, the low fever, the no appetite (!) all got me quite concerned, so we went into the doc yesterday, just to make sure it wasn't pneumonia. thankfully, it's not. not an ear infection either. just a really lousy cold. and a cough that breaks my heart every time i hear it.
it's friday today, but we're going to skip our usual group activities and just hang out together. lots of cuddling, and maybe a trip to the zoo. when she's better, i'm going to need a very large drink!
