WWYD? Sleeping sick child

Emer

DD most likely had the flu since DH has confirmed type A and her temp hits 104.3 without meds. She has been asleep since 7:30pm last night, other than brief wake ups from bad dreams or needing Motrin. I want her to sleep tonight, but she obviously needs sleep now. What would you do? Let her sleep or get her up?

Honestly, I would let her sleep.  You should try to get a nap too if you can in case she's up tonight.  I hope she's feeling better soon!

I would definitely let her sleep. She needs the rest to get well.

Hope she's feeling better soon and that no one else catches it!

I'd let her sleep too and nap myself (if possible) and have a chill movie on deck in case she wakes up in the middle of the night for a while. Blankets and pillows left on the sofa for cuddling

Hope she feels better soon!

Along with the movie and blankets, I'd have a drink and a snack ready too!  I hate preparing food in the middle of the night.  I hope she's able to sleep through most of it and wakes up feeling much better.

Good call on having things prepared for the middle of the night. DS also has it and is wide awake, so no nap for me, but that's a good thought. Our pedi said she's only seen one case this year and we have 3 in our house right now. It sucks. But at least DD's resting, thanks for the input, I'll let her sleep.
