103.5 degrees

Isabel woke up with a high fever on Sat. 102.5.  We were worried but luckily it was only a 24 hour bug.  She woke up today with 97.7..  wow we are relieved.  Here is what we did to help her heal

- children's tylenol every 4 hours
- feed her liquids (whatever she want between vitamin water, coconut water, and gatorade)
- try to feed her food (gave her ensure strawberry shake when she didn't want to eat)
- rub her down with a cool towel every 1 hour or two.  she didn't like that but helped a lot with her temperature.
- stayed in
- measured her temp every 90 min.  It was fluctuating between 100.5 and 103.5...pretty strong bug.  but I did read kids get higher fever than adults
- let her rest and nap with her
- lots of TLC
- let her watch tv and movies - she loved that.

It's the first time she had such a high fever but she was such a good little patient even at night in taking medicine.  It's the first time she sounded so tired all day, but this morning she was full of energy and said she felt great.   Kids heal so fast.    I am so thankful
