No fun. Meredith and Amelia have been sick since the end of last week. They even stayed home from church on Sunday with Josh. Amelia has definitely been improving, and Meredith only had to "officially" wipe her nose once yesterday...much better than the previous day. (By officially I mean that she used a tissue instead of her sleeve.)
Claire, however, has taken a turn for the worse. She had been fine over the weekend but had woken up yesterday (Monday) with a fever of 102. Not too big of a deal, but by the time she went to bed last night, she was up to 104. We were giving her Motrin and did the tepid bath thing (which she didn't enjoy because she had just taken a bath an hour before that).
So, we continued to check her every hour or so, and she had dropped to maybe around 102-103. We gave her more medicine at 2:30, and she woke me up at 4:00 with a temp around 104 again. We went back and forth about whether we should just head to the ER, but alas, we are still home because she's dropped a bit again (102ish). She's fairly perky for 5:30 a.m. (much more-so than her mother!).
We're going to call our doc later this morning. I'm typically not one to panic about these types of issues. However, after our bout in the hospital a couple of years ago with the same issue, I'm a bit more paranoid about the whole thing. Hopefully, it is nothing, but if you could send a prayer or two up for her as you are reminded, that would be greatly appreciated!

Hope you get the fever under control. It is no fun being sick!! Glad that the two little ones are on the mend. Good luck at the doctor.
