Delaney's nasty fever made a reappearance on Monday. I thought she felt warm during the night Sunday night, but I took her temp when she woke up on Monday and it was perfectly normal. I dropped her off at daycare and within 2 hours they called to let me know that she had a fever of 103. I called the doctor and they wanted to see her in the early evening. Poor little thing was pretty miserable once I got her home and shivered all through lunch. I was just hoping that the doctor would find something to explain this fever. Unlike last time when it could have been the shots, her cold, her ear infection, this time there were no other symptoms. She had been really fussy on Sunday, but that was it. We went to the doctor and he gave her a good look and said, "Well, I see one thing that could definitely explain this". Thank you! The verdict was: viral tonsellitis. He said it was the fourth case he had seen that afternoon. Tylenol is the only treatment to help with the fever and sore throat. She is back to her old self as of last night after a double helping of chicken and corn and is back at school today. Poor little thing has had a rough ride lately, but hopefully we can see a stretch of healthy here for a bit. I doubt it though with her starting a new daycare next week.
Oh, and the doctor also said her four top teeth are all pushing down right now, so her gums are probably very sore. Maybe one day one of them will actually pop through. We can only dream...

ohhh, poor baby! Isn't it so sad when they are sick? Riley's top 4 teeth are also coming in all at once...when it rains it pours! Oh and on Sunday night he fell and hit the bottom of his chin on the coffee table and bit all the way through his tounge....it was an absolute nightmare. He bled for about 3 hours straight...unfortunately there is nothing the dr. can do, just had to let it heal itself. OUCH!!!
