HY is sick again

It has been three days that HY started to have a temperature. At first I thought it was because of her teething. But, the fever went up to 104 degree and she was throwing up, I called the doc at night and a nurse called back saying that she likely had a stomach virus which called the high temperature. We should just try to keep her hydrated and give her Tylenol if the fever is above 102.

Today is the third day and her temperature is not going away. At least it was between 101 and 102. I gave her Tylenol when it was above 101.5. She looked very very week with higher than 101 degree. She threw up when I gave her the Tylenol last night. She gagged because of the sweetness. She could not take pedialyte because it was too sweet as well. So, I decided to dilute the Tylenol with water before giving to her. She took it OK that way. Poor little baby had glossy eyes and warmed body. She was too weak to play with sister. In the morning she was better but by the afternoon she was just tired. It hurts to see her being sick.

What was the hardest part of parent hood? Not the lack of sleep, the helplessness that comes with your child or children's illness was the hardest. That leads to the sleepless nights and endless worries until she recovers then you can breath, eat, sleep and live normal again.

So, please pray for little HY. Thank you.
