First Fever

We experienced our first fever last week when Collins spiked a 102 degree temp on Thursday night. Luckily, we were able to get her into the clinic on Friday morning. She looked good on exam, but because she's still so little she had to have blood drawn, get catheterized for urine, & got 2 antibiotic shots to cover for infection. Her labs all came back normal (Yay!), so she ended up just having a pesky viral infection. She handled it all pretty well - she was pretty fussy, especially with the fever, broke out with a rash, & didn't eat very well for a few days, but her rash is fading now & she's smiling like our sweet little girl again. So glad she's feeling better!
Casen escaped the fever, but came down with croup on Sunday. He's done really well, though & seems to be feeling better himself. The cough isn't too bad & he's been sleeping with his humidifier close by.
Collins got really fussy with fever & did some double-time comfort... she has her thumb stuck into the back of her paci & is sucking them both at the same time. Poor baby!
Collins still rashy, but feeling better... and apparently ready for some football.
Our smiley girl - last week having dinner on the back patio.
Casen loves playing with his tongue! He's too cute!
