He makes her smile…
Even when she has a 104 fever.
About 2 hours before these pictures, her temp spiked at 104. It was probably still about 102 when these were taken on Saturday. And she was CRANKY all day. This was, quite literally, the only time she smiled all day.
Later that night, I ended up having to take her to the hospital because the fever wouldn’t break. Blood cultures, urine catheterization, and chest xray later, they figured it was not bacterial, and was ,rather, viral, so it was just a matter of it running its course.
And yesterday, it turned into this:
Actually, that picture is today. The rash is much worse. It seems my baby has roseola. Gabe had it at her age, too. Fairly harmless, just looks nasty. And after we had to clean up the nastiest stenchiest puke I’ve ever seen in my life last night, it seems she has finally broken her fever, too. Still clingy and super cranky today, but wouldn’t you be if you looked like this? My poor baby. 
Awwwwwwwwww…that poor little sweetie!! Robby had that too at her age. It isn’t pretty, but it goes by rather quickly. So cute that he gets her to smile like that! What priceless photos!!
Good luck this week…hope she is feeling better soon!!
