Baby Blues

My poor Klara has had the worst few days! It started out Friday around 10:30 when I noticed she had a slight fever. By 6:00 that evening her fever was at 102.5. Now I know doctors say not to worry over a 102 temperature, but I was about to freak out. I called every friend I had in the medical profession (thanks Karrie, Hollie, and Jennifer)! By 7:00 Klara was throwing up and having diarrhea (spelling?). Her fever would not go down, so we kept her in bed with us because I was afraid that she may be prone to febrile seizures like my sister's little girl. Luckily that did not occur. The next day she quit throwing up but the diarrhea and fever persisted. Her fever went up and down all day long and she just wanted to sit in my lap and suck her fingers. By Sunday her fever was still there, but it went down to about 99. So we took advantage of that and went outside for a few minutes. While we were outside, Klara fell down on the sidewalk and scraped her nose, forehead, and the underneath of her left eye. My poor baby! Plus she is teething!!!!!! Oh the pain! Then, to top things off, she woke up with a rash this morning (Tuesday) all over her stomach, back, and neck. We let her try a strawberry yesterday, so I am pretty sure this is what caused the rash. I just pray that the rest of the week is uneventful in the health department. At least her fever is finally gone!
