It all started yesterday... I knew today was going to be a long day as soon as I picked little Lennon up from day care yesterday afternoon. She was tired, crabby and so sad. My little L didn't feel good at all. We got home and daddy had dinner ready which she didn't hardly touch. She didn't want a bottle, or juice, or snacks... she just wanted cuddles and kisses. Hey, who doesn't love when their baby just wants to cuddle and kiss? :)
We ran to the store for some more medicine and a new thermometer. Let me tell ya, that digital thermometer is not my dear friend anymore. We relied on that thing to tell us if little L had a fever and it was WRONG. UGH... So, I bought a brand new one from Babies R'Us and sure enough Lennon's temp was 101.7. Poor babe.
We got home, gave her some medicine and a bottle and off to bed she went [or so we thought]. She fell asleep for about an hour and woke up screaming and crying, probably in so much pain and uncomfortable from the high fever. I took her temp again and it's still not gone down at all. 10:30pm rolls around and I was still cuddling with her, rocking her to sleep. Daddy called the doc. because we were so worried about her temp being so high and not coming down... after that she finally fell asleep and slept through the night until 9:00 this morning! [thank goodness]
But, me being a crazy mom I went in her room at 6:30 this morning worried about her since I hadn't heard a peep all night. She was sound asleep in her crib with her little butt in the air cuddled up with her tiny baby blanket sucking on her paci. Such a cute sight to see in the morning. So, I rubbed her back, brushed her curls out of her face and felt her forehead. She was on FIRE. I mean, she was literally burning up with sweat beads on her skin. Her temp was still there! I didn't want to wake her, so I let her sleep it off but I woke her up at 9:00 and gave her some breakfast and some more medicine.
After trying to feed her breakfast and she wasn't eating I looked in her mouth and she had a huge sore on her lip and in her cheeks. I called my mom, [of course] and called the doc next. Doc set her up with an appointment and after it was said and done he told me that she does indeed have hand, foot, mouth disease and told me she has to stay out of day care, and home for 1 week. OMG. Then, he looked at her foot [which has been scabbed up for over 6 months and not healing] and told me that she needs to see a surgeon to see what we can do about it going away for good. As if hand, foot, mouth isn't bad enough... Poor baby girl.
So, since mama and L are home together today and she has been napping since we got home... I did some online shopping for her & I! H&M is seriously my new fav place to shop for little L. Their clothes are amazing, cute, and cheap. Can't get much better than that. I got so much stuff for SO cheap!
And look at these amazing boots. OMG
& this onesie... TODIEFOR.
Of course L is too young to benefit from retail therapy but mama can and I can show her all of these amazing gifts when they arrive next week! Then she will be happy!
So, today... hopefully Lennon will eat lunch. Hopefully Dan and I can figure out our work schedules this week and next to help her heal up and keep her from spreading this nasty virus to others.
I'm watching The Talk, drinking a delicious ice cold tea from McD's and relaxing. Mmm.
