Starting last Friday, Paul started feeling sick. Poor guy was sick on his birthday! Then, on Sunday morning, I thought Maelyn felt a little warm and I took her temperature. It read normal, so we thought nothing of it and moved on with our day. At lunch time, I went to pick Maelyn up and I was shocked at how warm she felt. I was certain she had a fever, so I once again took her temp -- but it read normal again. I had a hunch, so I ran upstairs to get a second thermometer that we have and when I took her temp again -- it read 103.2...ahhhh!! I felt like the mother of the year -- how could I have missed it?!
We quickly got some Tylenol into Maelyn and settled her on the couch with a pillow, blankets, juice and a movie. She actually signed in relief -- as the guilt seeped through me -- ouch!
Poor thing had a high fever for two days. Then, just when we thought we had beaten the bug, I came down with a high fever. As of this afternoon, I am finally feeling better and I think that we are all on the mend. I hope so -- we are heading to Ottawa tomorrow to visit family.
