Long weekend, pt. 3 - it ended on a low note...

We started off our Sunday with a visit to the park. It was a beautiful morning, and lots of other kids were there, so it was a great day for it.




Lily is a pretty good climber.
















She also had fun sliding and swinging.


But then, all of a sudden, she said she was tired and wanted me to carry her back to the car. When we got home she said she wanted to take a nap - that never happens!! I figured she was just tired, but later that afternoon she felt warm and I took her temperature - fever :-(


So, we took it easy that evening, just hanging around the house and playing outside a little bit. She didn't seem to get worse until Monady afternoon, when her fever just kept going up and up - to 102, 102.7, 103, and finally 103.5!! Tylenol wasn't really helping, so I tried ibuprofen, which didn't seem to be working either. I started getting us ready to head to urgent care at around 9pm Monday night, when the medicine kicked in and her tempurature finally started dropping. Thank goodness.

Today I'm back at work and Lily is at home, and the fever seems to be down for the time being. No real sign of a cold or anything else that caused the fever. I guess we'll just wait and see!

It's all just another day in the adventures of parenthood!!
