puppetmakerAnd I am not going to talk about football.
Yesterday when Caroline got up she did her usual Saturday morning routine which looks a lot like her weekday routine but it doesn't involve her getting on a bus and going to school. It was bath time for her. She washes herself and then gets some playtime in the bathtub.
About ten minutes in to her playtime, she calls me in a rather panic voice. I went in and she was crying because her legs are cramping up. Peter helped her out of the bath and we got her to the bed where we bundled her up as she was shivering. We got her dressed and wrapped up in a warm blanket and settled her in Peter's lap to watch cartoons. She didn't seem warm at the time. Later I took her temperature and it was 103.7 which is not good. The rest of the afternoon, evening, and night was keeping her temperature down. We never got it below a hundred but we kept it away from 104.
So it was a very long night. And we now have to call the handful of friends that we had invited over to inform them that our Super Bowl Party is off but Peter is still blogging about the commercials on his site. Today we are taking her to her doctor to have her checked out. We know there is a nasty virus going around her school but we want to eliminate anything else it might be. Either way she is not going to school tomorrow because they request that the child be fever free for 24 hours before going back.
I am grateful that we were able to get her fever down.
