Tuesday, this weeks Monday

DD's fever was 103.5 last night at around 8:30. I gave her children's Advil before bed. She woke up shortly after I did at 3 am and didn't go back to sleep until she crashed on the couch for 45 mins around 8am. I'm taking her to the doctor later this morning. I'm feeling sick today too:(

penguin129 I hope you both feel better and can figure out a reason for the fever.

This morning DD was complaining that her nose was hurting. She's had a stuffy nose for the last week or so with allergies so I didn't think much of it. Then when I was watching her face I could see something in her nose so I started trying to get it out and she was screaming. Turns out she stuck a 1 inch bean up her nose. She said she got it from school and she did it last night. I have no idea why she did it and why she wouldn't tell me it was there as it was obviously hurting her. I haven't noticed any bleeding or anything but she does have a small rash on her face from it.

And then some random lady that reeked of smoke gave DS a piece of hard butterscotch candy at the grocery store without asking me if he could have it. I'd like to turn in my mommy badge today.

penguin129, I am so sorry! I hope you get some answers at the pedi today and that you're feeling better soon too!

@charlotte, congrats on the new furniture, that's always nice!

ashiscute, oy. It's always something with kids. Andalso WHAT IS WITH ELDERLY PEOPLE AND KIDS?? Last week while grocery shopping, I leaned a couple feet away from the cart to grab something off of a shelf and when I came back I practically smacked into an older lady who I swear was about to either pick DD2 up out of the cart, or kiss her! I gave her a WTF look and hurried away.

I have a bad headache today. Second one in a few days. So bad, it's making me sick to my stomach. I have stuff to do, but I just put LO down for a nap and I think I'm taking one too as soon as she falls asleep.

I think I want to go back to work. I'm almost 3 months into this sahm thing and I'm still just not feeling it. DD1 only has a couple weeks left of school, so maybe I'll feel differently when I have her home and we can do more fun things when I'm not tied down to a specific drop off and pick up time at school. But, I'm reaching out to area preschools, and I'm starting to look. Just not exactly sure what to do. So many pros and cons.

@mommatotwo the lady at the grocery store wasn't elderly. She looked in her 50s?! She said "here's some candy to put in your mouth" and then walked away. There was actually a normal elderly lady next to me who also looked horrified. I actually ended up buying some gummy worms to distract DS from the butterscotch. We split them when we got home and they were delicious. But seriously strangers WTF?

UGH! Ok that's even more ridiculous and strange! What is with people?

DD's diagnosis from the pedi is viral acute pharyngitis (fancy way of saying a sore throat). She still has a slight fever. I was told there is nothing you can do for it except treat the symptoms with pain reliever/fever reducer. He didn't run a strep test. I am hoping it isn't strep and they missed it because they didn't do the test. He also said it could be roseola, but we won't know that until her fever is gone and the rash shows up. She is doing better today, but hasn't eaten anything at all.

Ugh, I really hate it when we go to the pediatrician and end up with a vague non helpful diagnosis like that and hate it when they don't just run the darn test when I'm already there. well, we just went through strep with DD1. Her throat was very sore to the point she was not eating. Her eyes were bloodshot. She was lethargic. So if you start noticing those signs and no improvement after a day or two, I'd go back and demand a strep test. If her fever is coming down on its own, its probably not strep.

As far as Roseola, DD1 had it and that high fever lasted 2 or 3 days then broke for 24 hours before the rash showed up. Rash lasted a few days.

Thank you, I took a couple Tylenol and did nothing for 2 hours, that helped. I think I might be getting weather related migraine headaches
