Anna-Kate woke up from her nap burning up. Underarm temp? 104.3 (for those unfamiliar with the underarm temp, add 1 degree!). I quickly gave her motrin and stuck her in front of a movie so I could call the ped. Of course it was 5:01 (literally.). I got her in a tepid bath. She got out twice for the runs...the last time she missed it. At least my bathtub is freshly bleached and shiny now.
We're going in tomorrow morning. I have strict instructions to wake her every 3-4 hours tonight and make her drink and monitor her temps. Should make for a restful night and great day tomorrow.
Pray for strength for me. Pray that Ryan doesn't get it (they were sharing a water earlier). Pray that Chris and I don't get it. Thankfully, it's the weekend soon, so Chris will be home to help. And, because my husband is amazing to me and a wonderful father, he offered to go in late tomorrow so I can just take Anna-Kate to the ped tomorrow and not have to take Ryan too (I always feel like the well one is contracting all sorts of things).
*** (on a separate note)
It's been a really hard day. I can't go into it all. We are really praying fervently about something right now and would love for you to join us, even with no information to go on. Will update when I can.
