How you know your child is sick ...

When you're grateful that her fever has come down to 102.8.

Nikki has had a nasty fever this past week, and yesterday when she started complaining that her side hurt when she breathed we got even more concerned. After a trip to the ER we found out she has pneumonia. My poor little girl. She was so pitiful yesterday. This is the first time I have ever seen someone burning up with a fever but still feel cold. I've only seen that in movies about the olden days. I think the antibiotics must already be doing their job because she was actually able to sleep in this morning, and she has perked up quite a bit already.

Poor Nikki! A lot of junk seems to be going around! We've had the stomach flu and an ear infection this week. Spring is around the corner and hopefully better health!! Give her a kiss and hug from us!

Glad she's doing a little better. That is never fun to watch your kids sick. I LOVE modern medicine and technology!!! I meet more and more homeschooling moms who don't appreciate doctors and medicine.

Alli, haven't you guys already had spring all winter? :) Hope your family gets better soon too.

We just have had a cold in our house. Luke's cough is getting a little rougher each day...sounds more croupy (sp?) this morning.

I'm so sorry! High fever's are scary! We're doing the cold thing here & just praying that it doesn't work into RSV for little Wy-guy. No fun! Thank goodness for medicine & doctors!!
