6/19/08 - Fever

This has been a weird last couple of days.  Just when I thought we were reaching the tail end of our colds, Amanda started running a high fever, crying constantly and wanting to be held all day.  She’d fall asleep in my arms at the drop of the hat.  Eva started taking longer naps and waking up at night.  Last night was especially unusual.  Eva woke with a bad dream, saying she “fell in water”.  It took forever for Dave to get her back to sleep, and then she slept in until 10am.  Amanda woke at around 6am, tossing fitfully and burning up. I gave her some Tylenol and brought her out into the living room for awhile to play and distract her, and about an hour later she fell asleep on the carpet.  I took her back to bed, and she, too, slept in until 10.  I’ve been cleaning around the house with antibacterial wipes, and washed all the toys, silverware and sippy cups in a Basic G solution (natural disinfectant from Shaklee).   Hopefully that will keep the girls from re-infecting themselves.
