whew
last night was rough... poor thing couldn't sleep with a stuffy nose... kept waking up every ten minutes it feels like to gasp for air. :( tony actually stayed up late to help... we tried the saline drops, tried to con her into blowing her nose... worked a few times, but it still kept getting stuffed again. so everytime she woke up, i would pat her on her back until she fell asleep again. this morning I was sooo tired. Tony took the car so I wouldn't have to drive him to work. (he was supposed to leave out again today, but that won't happen for a few weeks... yay!) anywho... after i got up with carlee, i noticed she was really really hot to the touch. i took her temperature and it read 100.9 degrees. that was really high to me. :( but i knew if i called the clinic they would say, "well, she just got her shots yesterday, that's why." so i gave her some more tylenol, fed her, and put her back to bed... we got up for good around 12:45 (so late!) and i felt for her temperature, and she was FINALLY cool to the touch. Man i was getting worried! geez... anywho... she's in a better mood now... but still not eating as much as she usually does, which is highly unusual! so, i know she's obviously not completely over it. but i'm glad the fever is gone... now to start on housework....:)

Poor baby... and there really isn't a whole lot we can give them to help. What about the Baby Vicks? That or the Vicks vaporizer in her bedroom - we tried those too, I do think they helped somewhat. They make small room size vaporizers, and some waterless ones too) - we were concerned because of a small bedroom she's in and she sleeps with the door closed. I bet her appetite comes back once she can breathe and eat at the same time. :) I hope she feels better very soon!! Take care.
