Sick Again

So, Paige has a virus now. The poor thing woke up with a fever of 103.3 yesterday. She was burning up!! I thought something was wrong the night before because she had a slight fever of 101.7 before going to bed. So, we went to the doctor again and she has the Coxsackie A virus which causes Herpangina (a very red sore throat with yellow sores). It is very painful for her!!

Last night was very difficult...she would go to sleep for 30 minute increments and then wake up crying. She did this all night! The only way I could get her back to sleep was to nurse her...it seemed soothing to her throat, so I was all for it!

It was a good thing that she was marathon nursing last night and today because she won't eat a thing!! She tried a couple of times, but she just started crying after the first bite. She won't even swallow her saliva. She has started holding her lip out to try to contain her saliva because she is that afraid of hurting her throat!! Neil and I feel so bad for her...hopefully she will get better soon!

With her rough night last night, Paige woke up with some real bed head. I tried to take a picture because she looked so funny with tousled curls on the top of her head...Paige kept trying to get the camera from me!
