The Fever That Won’t Quit

Leave a Comment / Daily Journal, Emerson, Family /

We got jarred awake super early today at 3:30 a.m. with Emerson screaming & crying out of nowhere. When we got into her room, she was burning up, and her temp was 103°. We got her undressed and wiped down her head & face with a cool, damp cloth, and tried to calm her down. I got her redressed in a regular, cooler onesie, and rocked her for a while. But she did not want me to put her back down, so I ended up just holding her for the next few hours in the living room recliner. We both were in & out of sleep that whole time, until about 7 a.m.. Then we got up and she was very calm, but relatively “normal.” But since she had that high fever, that meant another day out of school, so we got breakfast ready and shared a bagel. She actually ate pretty well, so I was more than willing to share with her.

At Least it’s NOT Pneumonia

Leave a Comment / Daily Journal, Emerson, Family, Food, Friends /

So let’s jump straight in with the good news first – Emerson doesn’t have pneumonia! We went to our regular pediatricians office this morning, and saw the nurse practitioner Mona (my friend Abby had the day off). She said her lungs sounded perfect, and her oxygen saturation was up to 98% today. She said she would call later to get the reading from the radiologist at CHP, then call me with results. Basically, she didn’t think she had pneumonia, but would defer to the radiologist’s reading, since she said it may be so early in the illness that only an x-ray could catch it.

After seeing her, we went downstairs to see Emerson’s cardiologist (their practice is in the same building), for him to look at the enlarged section of her heart on the x-rays. He was super nice, and took the time to look at it right away between patients, then came to talk to us in the waiting room & check on Emmie. He said he didn’t think she had pneumonia, and that her heart was fine.

My Baby Girl is Sick, Again

Since Veteran’s Day was on Sunday this year, the State offices were closed today in observance, so Jeff and I both had the day off.

This morning, Jeff met up with his dad for breakfast, and then did some tech/computer work for him. So Emerson & mommy had a breakfast date at home! She had a slight fever, right at 100°, so I assumed she was teething again.

Raisins & Penguins

Leave a Comment / Books, Church, Daily Journal, Emerson /

Yesterday, when we were leaving school, Meggie gave Emmie a box of raisins (along with the applesauce), and she held on to them the whole ride home, then left them in her seat. She found them again this morning, & wouldn’t let go of them, so we took them into school. She still wouldn’t let me take them from her once we got rin her classroom, so instead she walked over & held them up to Ms Q, who realized she actually wanted to eat them!

Chill Monday & Throwbacks

1 Comment / Daily Journal, Emerson, Family, Food, Hubby /

Ok first of all, has time change hit y’all super hard, too? I fell asleep on the couch last night around 8:30, and was in bed by 9pm. Usually, my normal bedtime is 11pm, so that was quite a bit early for me. Its almost 10pm now though, so I’m doing better tonight…

Emerson caused a slight problem with her friends this morning… She saw these shakers on the ledge, and pointed at them, so of course Ms. Q gave them to her. Then her other three friends all wanted them as well, but she wouldn’t share, so one little boy started screaming crying and would not calm down!
