Fevers are no fun...

Unfortunately, Molly had a rough week this past week. It started with being sent home from daycare on Wednesday with a fever that reached 103.7 by the evening. Thursday the culprit seemed to be a minor ear infection in both ears, but by Friday it was clear the ears weren't the main problem. Rather seems like Molly was/is battling some virus. Three days of 103+ fevers & the cough of a long-time smoker... not sure who they were worse for, Molly or mom's nerves! That was the first time Molly ever had a fever that high and for a few days in a row. For a first time mom, that was kind of scary. Thank goodness for on-call doctors and my good friend & wonderful pediatrician, "Dr. Danielle"! Finally, Sunday morning, Molly woke up fever free. She's still battling a cough & now seems to have a rash of sorts, but is slowly recovering. Our guess now is that she has roseola, which it sounds like all kids get at some point, but still is scary when those high fevers hit. Hoping tomorrow brings another fever free day and the return of our happy little bean! A little glimpse of how Molly spent her time when she wasn't whinny & upset...napping in mom's arms with froggy!
