Not over the hill yet

Picture taken by Laura Fielding July '08 in Heber Valley Utah

Caroline continues to be on a constant rotation of Motrin and Tylenol to keep her fever from going sky high. We usually have one 3-4 hour window when she perks up and runs around like the old Caroline and I get my hopes up that we are through.

But then she starts shivering and before you know it she laying in my lap with her eyes closed, breathing rapidly and scaring me to death. It will be 10 days tommorrow. I have been in touch with her Dr. several times this week and have been advised to just stay at home and keep her fever from getting to high. Unless she starts having breathing problems (she has had none except the fast breathing when her fever is 103 or more), or shows signs of dehydration, they advised me to keep her home since there is nothing that can be done.

Her health seems to be pretty good when she isn't fevering, though she does seem a lot weaker than usual. But no horrible cough, or other symptoms. I am taking her in tommorrow morning no matter what though.

Everyone else continues to be healthy as can be. Of that I am so grateful.

I am so sorry! I am glad you're taking her in, no matter what they say. I'll send a prayer up for your little Caroline. BOO on those nasty viruses.
