I need drugs or cigarettes, or something...she hasn't taken a nap today and this long weekend has been anything but relaxing. Little pal has a cold. Her fever has gone all the way up to 103 point something and finally down to 98 point normal. Her cough is nasty sounding and today she's had insane nose bleeds out of nowhere.
She's on an antibiotic, but since a cold is a virus, we're probably wasting our time. The doctor recommended cough syrup hasn't done a thing (Robitussin) so we switched to our standby, Triaminic. Getting her interested in food or drink has been a battle, but there was really only one day she didn't eat anything at all.
The crying episodes today have really worn me out. I'm sure she's overtired and I know she's miserable being sick. I get upset too when I'm sick for even a couple of days. She's asked to go to the playground, ride her bike, and go shopping. She's getting to watch lots of movies, but I think she's also getting stir crazy.
I've gone through her closet and got a large bag of things to bring to Once Upon a Child now. I've also been washing all of her clothes and bedding. The nose bleeds and sensitivity has me wondering what to do tomorrow, though. My mom even said that if she doesn't have fever for 24 hours, she can go to school. Usually, my husband is the only one who says that! Oh, and this morning, she fell out of her dining chair onto the tile floor and hit her head - like she didn't feel crappy enough already!
I truly feel bad for her, but at the same time, I really wish she'd just go the eff to sleep! Her dad and I need a break!! We're drinking eggnog daiquiris right now hoping she dozes off watching "Annie".
