THE GRINSTEAD FAMILY

SICK??

Still no word from the doc about Allie's throat culture. I'm guessing that we'll hear something tomorrow sometime.

She woke this morning at 5:00 with a temp of 102.5. I asked how she felt & she said GREAT! I gave her some ibuprofen and she crawled into bed with me and went back to sleep until about 7:00 (I didn't get much sleep). I took her temp again & it was down to just under 100. She laid in her bed and watched TV all morning. She came skipping downstairs around 11:00 and told me that she "cleaned her room & made her bed". I took her temp & it was up over 102 again...not sure where this child's energy came from w/ a temp that high! I gave her more ibuprofen & sent her back to bed. She did nap this afternoon and is now "soaking in the tub". She acts fine & says she feels fine, but that temp still keeps spiking once the meds wear off! We'll see what tomorrow brings.
