Yesterday Cheyenne woke up from her nap with a fever. 101.2 fever. I gave her motrin and once it broke she seemed to be feeling okay. I gave her more before she went to bed. She woke up around 4am coughing and calling for me. I checked her, and she had a fever once again. This time of 102. She just couldn't quit coughing. I got her some juice and put some vapo rub on her chest. She was coughing so much she was gagging. After taking a sip of her juice she said "thank you mommy, I love you mommy." I fely my heart ache when she said those words, unprompted. I layed down with her and rubbed her head to help her get to sleep but she was just coughing too much. I made her some warm juice and put a little honey in it and that seemed to help so I left her and she fell asleep for about an hour before waking up coughing again. She feels awful. You can tell. She hasn't eaten or drank much of anything all day and it just sitting around on the couch. I put her down for a nap around noon and she's just in there coughing. She may doze off for 15 minutes or so but then starts up again and whines. I feel so bad for her. Sleep is usually the best medicine and when you can rest it makes you feel so much worse. Hopefully she'll get better real soon. Say a little prayer for her. Either way I guess we're stuck inside because of the 6-8" of snow we're supposed to get tomorrow afternoon...Oh Vey.
