Sick Baby Part 3

After a long day of holding Kara, she is finally in her crib. She slept almost all day on me, and would really only wake up for short periods at a time. I have never felt so horrible in my life! It was the first time that I have felt truly helpless as a mother :( On the bright side, Kara seems to have broken her fever! I have been taking her temp. every time I change her diaper, and about an hour ago she started to cray in her crib. I went in and she was really sweating, which made me think that she may have broke her fever. I called the doctor many times today, and I asked all the different things that I could give to her. Stacey had said that Motrin worked well for my nephews, so I asked about that. They said that I could give her both motrin and tylenol at the same time as they are different types of drugs. Well after doing Tylenol all day, to really no avail, I decided to give it a shot. Paul and Brian stopped on their way home from the brewery tour and picked up some Motrin. Seems to have worked, her fever, as of 10:00 p.m. was at 99.8 - drastic change from the 102.1 I had gotten just a few hours prior! It has been a long day, and a very challenging day. I now know how my own mom felt all of the times that we were sick. Off to try to get some rest of my own, as I am totally drained!
