Ugh...I'm so bummed

I'm so bummed that I missed posting on Jentry's 10 month birthday. If you must know there is a reason. Why? You might ask...Well I'll tell you. On the 17th of December Jentry fell ill with her first fever ever :( She woke up with a temp of 100.5 and a faucet of thick yellow yuckiness coming from her nose. Needless to say this Mama stayed at home and got her to the Dr. that day. Dr. Sprunger gave us an antibiotic and checked her out...praise the Lord her ears were not the problem! Those tubes must be working. However when she woke up after her afternoon nap I could tell she was boiling so I took her temp again and it had spiked to 104.5. Again, this Mama freaked out and called the Dr.'s office. I felt 20 minutes was long enough time for them to call me back so I then rang our Dr. on her cell phone (She doesn't work in the office on Thursdays) again thank God we have a stellar Dr. and will accept calls or texts at any time. If you live on the North side of Indy Dr. Lisa Miller and her staff at Northside Family Care are the most wonderful set of Dr's/staffs in the world!

Anyhow on with the story, Dr. Miller said this is normal and we needed to get some Motrin for Jentry. Jack picked that up on his way home from work and her fever went down...only to go back up again in the middle of the night to 103.5. So on Friday Jack stayed home with her, held her, played with her and had some good Dada time! She continued to run a fever until about Saturday afternoon...during her nap her fever finally broke and stayed down.

I don't have any pictures of my sick baby, but I don't know that anyone wants to see her like that anyhow!

On a side note I want to wish Mimi a Happy Birthday today. We are glad you are in town so that we can spend your special day with you!

Jentry, Mimi and I will be visiting Santa for her 10 month pictures. I think baby girl is finally feeling well enough to finally make that visit! I hope she smiles for him!
