So this is what a "mommy" is ...

Emily had a fever yesterday afternoon of 101. So we just gave her some Tylenol and monitored it. Nothing changed. By dinner, she was lethargic, no smiles, no toys, and the fever was at 103. That is the highest fever that either her or Seth has had. So mommy and daddy were nervous and doing the cuddling bit. Finally, around 7:30 we decided it was time to take her to 'immediate care'. Christian didn't want me to go alone and he had to stay with Seth. So I called my mom...again, this is what being a "mommy" is. My mom came with Emily and I. Turns out it is just a virus, no ear infection, no UTI. :) So off we went - with peace of mind, I guess.

Christian has weekend duty this weekend. So today, I have planted myself at home doing the domestic stuff (laundry, cooking, cleaning) so Emily can be as low-key as possible. She is already feeling better. Back to smiling and playing again. So hopefully in another few days, she will be over it. :)

So while my mom is the constant nurse/caretaker of the family right now....I hope I get it honest from her. She was very much the grandmother last night coming with me across town at 8pm. :) Thanks Mom!
