One & Done: Only child

UGHHHHHHHH!

I'm freaking the fuck out.

Tomorrow morning H and DD are going to Lowes for the build and grow, going to build a birdhouse. She is sooooo excited.  After that we were taking her to lunch (Johnny Rockets, her choice) and the movies to see Mr. Peabody and Sherman.   Sunday @ noon is her birthday party.  Birthday Monday.

Tonight I get this..  "Mom, I'm cold..  my throat might hurt"  fuck!  100.3 fever.  Low grade, but.. uhhh.. I'm betting it's just the start of something, since her throat hurt a bit. REALLY?  I'm so sad for her.  We had so much planned, and might have to cancel it all.  She was actually fine with it (after 30 minutes of tears).. I explained we would make a fun weekend at home.  Pop some popcorn, watch a movie together at home.. get some take out, paint, draw stupid bird houses.. and she was OK.  I'm a wreck, though.  What shitty timing.

We will still have family over, some came from out of state! They won't care that she's sick and fear of catching anything.. she's old enough to stay out of faces and wash hands.  But I'll have to totally call her friends parents and tell them.  I would be livid if I sent my kid to a party and someone had a known fever.  So I'll let them know.   They probably won't come.

Meh.  Can you all hope for some strange miracle to happen overnight, and she wakes up 100% fine?

I need a drink.

  • Load that girl up with some vitamin C.
    Can't hurt, at least

  • I'm gonna suggest elderberry syrup in addition to the vitamin C!

    Hoping she wakes up fine, or at least that it's just a typical winter cold :(

  • Whenever I feel anything coming on(sniffles, sore throat, etc) I take a ridiculously high dose(like 11k times daily value dose) of vitamin C powder and I also load up on Josie's probiotics. It works very well.
    I make my husband take that all, too, when he is feeling crappy and he gets mad that it works so well because that stuff tastes pretty nasty(it's all powder you have to mix with water & drink)

    Unfortunately, a typical cold for my kid often leads to a fever (and a high one).. always has.  Gets it from my H.  He gets a minor head cold and 102 fever with it.  I've never gotten a fever with a cold!  She's missed school for 4 days in a row in previous years just from a stupid cold because it always comes with high fever. 

    We've gotten off soooo easy this year, karma just bit us.
    I did give her some vitamin C before bed, she's currently sleeping and has been since like 7:45.  I'm hoping she wakes fine.. ppfffft.

    She's fiiiiiine! She woke with a teeny sore throat and after I gave her nasal spray (she takes twice a day for severe allergies) she said it went away.... which means she had post nasal drip bothering her throat.  And bad allergies possibly giving her small fever.  She's had no fever at all since waking, yayyyyy!

    Yay this is great news! Enjoy your weekend :)

  • Such good news!!
  • That's awesome that she's feeling better!! Woo!!!!!
