9 months and burning the midnight oil...

Today is Scarlett's 3/4 birthday! Unfortunately her present was a 103 degree fever. We've been fighting fevers since Thursday night and off and on before that (thank you, top two teeth) but she has hit her all time records -- 102.4 degrees on Friday night and 103 degrees today. She woke up clearly irritable (not her usual "I love the morning" attitude). She hasn't really wanted to eat all day. She even refused strawberries (her favorite) and her formula. She did eat some spinach (her second favorite) and once we could finally coax the bottle into her mouth, she did eat some formula. Nothing has really helped; we've tried Tylenol, cold compresses, sitting her in the bathroom by the air conditioning vent, keeping her in basically just a diaper... The poor baby feels pretty bad. We've talked to the doctor a few times but if she isn't better by tomorrow we'll take her in again. She is supposed to have her 9 month check up on Wednesday morning but I doubt she'll be able to get her shots if she still has a fever like this. It's so hard to watch a sick baby! I just feel terrible for her. Plus, she is exhausted but refuses to go to sleep and has been waking up during the night the past few days (the doctor said to expect that when they have a fever). Hopefully this will clear up before we leave for Miami on Thursday or it will be a very different trip than the one we planned.
