Then this little love bug came inside BURNING UP! We took her temperture...103.2!!!!!!!!!!!! This momma FREAKED OUT! It just came out of the blue. She was completely fine when we got home around 4:00. But by 6:00, she was on fire. We pumped her with off-brand motrin and she went to bed. Bryan had to talk me into being patient and letting the medicine work before I called 911 b/c our daughter might catch on fire. Luckily, her temp went down. But still 102.1 in the morning. After a doctor visit, catheter to check for UTI, and a finger prick (which, of all thing....the band-aid made her cry hysterically. She couldn't STAND it being on her finger...weird- CC would cover her entire body in band-aids if we let her!), they determined it was just a virus. She was fine by 3:00 that afternoon!
Then CC and I headed to a costume birthday party with all of her school friends!
We had the best time bowling, face painting, and dancing!
By Sunday morning, CC was complaining of her tummy hurting and even wanted to go lay in her bed at 10:00 am(uh-oh....I knew it was going to be a rough day!). Around 11:30, it began....CC throwing up (both ends- gross, huh!). But she was such a big girl and let us know she was going to throw up while running to the bathroom. She even asked me to hold her hair back (reminded me of a few nights in college!!). Well....around 6:00 that night, MY tummy started hurting AND the stomach bug was passed on to me (I'll spare ya the details!) Rough night at the Congleton house, so CC and I stayed home Monday to get better. She was pretty much well by Monday, but not me! I slept ALL day while moaning and groaning. But my little CC might be the best nurse ever! She would rub my cheek, then kiss it, and whisper I love you in my ear. She even offered to turn my pillow "so it will feel cold on your head", put a pillow under my feet so my feet would feel better, and told me she would hold my hair. At one point I was leaning over a bucket thinking I was about to throw up with CC's face right in the bucket. When I asked her what she was doing, she said "Mom. Just throw up, okay. Just do it. I want to watch" GROSS but somehow cute!
Hopefully next weekend will be better for everyone! Unless Bryan gets it.......we all know how men handle being sick!!!):):): Love ya Bryan!!!!
We put you on the M&M prayer list!!
ReplyDeleteLove you girls! and Bryan too-- here's to hoping he stays strong!
Poor Emory!! I would freak out too (and I'm a NICU nurse). I'm so glad it wasn't too bad. Poor CC!! Hilarious about the holding the hair back reminder :). I'm so glad she is better too. Poor you!! But that made me so teary eyed when you talk about Christian nursing you. That's the sweetest thing I've ever heard. You have such amazing, sweet little girls. You are so lucky! I'm glad you are all better. The whole thing sounds terrible.
ReplyDeleteMallory, so sorry you were sick! That fever virus has happened to us a couple of times too and I also freaked out. MA went to 104 once just like that, really fast! I teared up when you talked about CC taking care of you, so presh! Let's please get our babes together soon!
