Getting over the ickies

So I took Jordan and Cam to church on Sunday. Jordan was drippy, but nothing too bad. Later that day, she started another fever. I felt bad for her, she was sleepy but not acting too strange. I put her to bed a bit early… But once again, no big deal. So around midnight I went in to check her and she felt like she was on fire. I took her temperature and it was way too high for my comfort zone. I ripped her out of her PJs and called a nurse. Randy and I were pretty worried… The funny thing was how Jordan was just talking and waving and being sweet. I was amazed by her positive attitude. So I just fed her and fed her and fed her. There wasn’t a lot of sleep for her or I. But at some point in the haze of tired feeding, I picked Jordan up and she was soaked in sweat, her body felt cool. I knew we’d gotten past it.

But in the morning, my happy girl was cranky. So I scheduled a doctor’s appointment. Of course they just said she has a virus. But we wanted to be sure she didn’t have an ear infection. Poor Randy took Jordan to the appointment… She cried and cried and he didn’t have the mommy food system to help calm her. So they had a rough run. After I taught my class, we traded baby care… After I took Jordan to campus for a campus presentation, Jordan slept and slept and slept — in the car, in her bed. She’s still sleeping. I fed her one more time… But other than that, she’s just resting and rebuilding. Poor baby.

But the up side — at the campus presentation, she just kept waving at people. It was so sweet. I swear I thought I heard her say hi and bye. This little one is going to be talking very early. I’m pretty sure of it.
