My broken babies.

So I've been bad about my blogging..but its been a weird couple of weeks around here.. First of all, we have been battling Reese's strange virus. It started out a couple weeks ago when she spiked an extremely high fever on a wednesday night. She was acting normal for the most part..laughing and saying Hi mama! every 5 seconds..at one point she accidentally kicked Sean when we were laying in bed and said, "Oops..sowwie!" (sorry). Her cheeks were getting bright red and she was seriously on fire. It got up to 103.8 and Motrin was not bringing it down.. So I chunked her in the bathtub (not literally) and gave her a lukewarm bath. (Works every time btw) That brought it down to 101.5. Needless to say we were freaked out since she had no other symptoms. It was a long night for mommy.. I think I checked her temp about 567 times that night.

I took her to the Doc the next day, which went well..besides sitting next to nasty kids with puke buckets. She had to get her blood taken and they stabbed her thumb with a needle thing and squeezed blood into a tube for like 2 minutes. She didn't even flinch! She was amazed by her blood coming out I think.. It was kinda creepy/cool. The nurse was impressed. This goes along with my theory that she has that weird disease where you can't feel pain. (Not really..but the kid rarely cries when she gets hurt.. Its weird. I think I've only seen her do it once..when she dropped a can of green beans on her toe and split it open..) Anyways, they tested her blood and said it was a virus and that it should be gone in 5 days. Well she only had 1 more fever after that..and we thought we were in the clear. Except she wasn't really acting like herself..she was really tired and lazy all the time..and she wasn't making messes everywhere..which was weird..and she wasn't laughing or talking much. I was a little weirded out and everyone kept telling me I was paranoid. My mom-dar was telling me that something was wrong though. So I kept a close eye on her. Then 3 days after she was supposedly done with the virus, she got another fever. Sean and I decided to go on a movie date..since we never go, and Reese was at my parents. We got a million texts during the movie (which we didn't see til it was over of course) from my mom saying Reese has 102.4 fever...blah blah blah.. So we rushed home as I was having an anxiety attack. She was excited to see us, but just curled up in a ball in my lap. :( It was sad. I took her back to the Dr. the next day thinking she was dying of like the bird flu or something.. and they did all the tests again and said yep! still a virus.. looks like she just got re-exposed. So..whatever. My poor baby layed around for 2 more days with a low-grade fever and this time I didn't give her medicine. Apparently your body fights off viruses better at a higher temperature..hence the reason why your body raises its temp.. So when you take medicine to bring it down..it just prolongs the virus. As long as your baby doesn't have a really high fever (like 103-104) and its during the day..I highly recommend not giving meds to bring it down. Anyways after 2 days of the low fevers, she finally fought it off. (I hope) and she is back to normal! She is eating again, and playing, and trashing our house, and we love every second of it! It was so sad watching her lay around for a week and a half.. All she wanted to do is watch cartoons and lay on me. :(

Getting into everything again!! Yay!

Also, Sean hurt his neck really bad doing nothing the other day and can barely move it. :( All my babies are broken. I'm doing good though! Minus the no sleep factor for the past week. I am poppin airborne like candy so I don't get any of these weird diseases going around. Ugh. I hate cold and flu season.
