Quinn is Sick

Well, Quinn woke up this morning with a low fever. I thought she was on the mend. She was acting normal and stuff, but she just wouldn’t eat much at all. She only drank 3 ounces of juice. She took a nap this afternooon and slept for five hours. She woke up with a temp of 104.3. So then we put some ibuprofen into her body and her temp went back down. But it shoots up each time the meds run out. I’m thankful the tylenol and ibuprofen are working, though. i decided that first thing in the morning, I will take her to the pedi, just cuz she’s had a temp for three days and because she hasn’t peed in five hours. I fear dehydration. She woke up poopy from her nap, changed her and she was dry when I put her to bed… she hadn’t peed for a while. Her eyes are dark and sunken in and her face is pale. So… i’m scared of dehydration. Other wise, she is acting somewhat normal. Of course she is laying around more and not playing as much and she is obviously not feeling well, but she’s not lethargic or blue.

I think I know why she got sick. That whole bottle thing trying to put her to bed without it… it’s been working. She hasn’t been crying for the bottle at night, but she refuses to drink it during the day. I’ve been lucky to get 2 ounces of peptamin junior into her every two days without the bottle. I knew she was dropping some weight.. it looked like it to me. She was getting sick alot before she was put on it and I really think we are back to the drawing board. I’ve been contemplating on giving GI a call. We’ll see what the doctor says tomorrow.

Thanks for your prayers. I hope everyone is well!
