sick again...

Well, it looks like Ella's going to be missing school tomorrow.

Last night we found she had a 102.7 degree fever. This one reacts very well to ibuprofen or acetaminophen, falling down to normal for the full expected duration of the medicine. It seems to stay reasonable for another hour after that, then starts creeping up again.

So far she hasn't had any significant other symptoms. She's got an occasional cough or two, and I've seen her nose drip once, but nothing that would be unusual for when Ella's not sick. About the only other reaction she's had is being a bit more tired, and snugly, than normal.

Regardless, she's doing well and is full of engergy most of the time. We've just had to limit our playing to the house and our own yard, no visits to the gym daycare today...

And for all the mothers who read this blog, Happy Mother's day!
