OK, so last night Carrie went to bed with a fever. I don’t sleep well when one of the kids is sick. I’m so intent on listening for one of them needing me that I can barely fall asleep, and when I do I sleep very poorly. And then sometime in the middle of the night Carrie came in our room and tossed and turned all over the bed. I don’t quite get how Denis can sleep through that!
Then around 5:30 her fever had spiked to 102.5, so I gave her some Motrin. Which promptly came back up. And she was complaining her throat hurt. So off to the doctor’s for a strep test (thank heavens the office is open on Saturday mornings for situations like this!) No strep. Just a virus of some sort.
She’s just been feverish and lethargic all day, watching TV and sleeping on the couch. Poor, poor baby! It would be a little bizarre to have to call her in sick on the very first day of school, so I hope she gets better before then.
And I’m exhausted. I think all total I had about 4 hours of sleep, and none of them were consecutive or restful. But at the same time I’m completely wired, because I drank half a pot of coffee this morning and a coke this afternoon. Not good.
