Sick children

I was awaken at 4:30 this morning to a child with a fever. I could hear Anna Claire being extremely restless on the monitor then heard her call out for mama. When I went to check on her, she was hot. Her temp was 102. I stumbled downstairs to pour her some juice then put her to bed with Andy and me. After 45 mins of her playing we got up and retreated to the couch for most of the morning. Another check of her temperature at 8:30, and another fever....so I called the Dr. . The Dr. looked her over, nothing. Termed it a fever virus and sent me home.
Its so pitiful when your child doesn't feel well. While she atempted to eat her lunch, she would wimper and rub my arm saying "I miss you mama". You miss me??? I'm sitting right beside you. This is a definite sign that my baby doesn't feel well. Granted she is a very loving child, she seems to be even more so when not feeling well.
Its an utterly heartbreaking feeling when theres nothing you can do to ease your child's ill feelings.
So as any good mother would do, we went out for ice cream!!! It helped!
