I don't know WHAT is wrong with Hannah :(

[sparks19]

Hannah is not well.

the past three or four days she has woken up with a fever of almost 101 degrees. Motrin helps to get her temp get back to normal.... but she is sleeping A LOT. WAY more than normal. so far it is just been a fever and fatigue but no other symptoms.

today though things changed.... she didn't wake up with a fever today... she actually felt normal. However later in the day she was starting to feel COLD. She feels cold all over but is sweating so she feels clammy. and GRUMPY. She will just randomly start bawling and is unconsolable... and that is so unlike her. She goes from happy to bawling back to happy and back to bawling within ten minutes. And when she is crying... she is REALLY crying. Crying like she is mad or frustrated with something.

She has been drinking her milk just fine (she won't drink anything but milk still) maybe even drinking more milk than usual.... but she won't eat her solids. She was really pale today too.

If she isn't regular temp tomorrow we are taking her to the Dr's. I called the doc yesterday and they said that she may have a virus but there was no need to bring her in right away but to keep an eye on her and if she got worse or didn't improve over the next few days to bring her in. So if she isn't back to normal tomorrow or showing vast improvement... she's going in.

Aww, poor Hannah. It's no fun being sick. I hope she feels better soon.

thanks Karen.

You know I wasn't TOO concerned with the fever part of it because it was controllable but now this whole thing with her being cold all over and having the sweats at the same time has really got me concerned. Add in the fact that she has been so fussy and is lashing out... it is SO unlike her. Even during her worst sicknesses and pains she has still managed to be smiley. But right now she is absolutely miserable and frustrated and it breaks my heart.

I am worried too just reading your post (moms KNOW their babies ) so I know how worried you must be. It sounds to me like little Hannah will be seeing the doctor today. Please keep us updated. We will be thinking of you.

It's been a long time since my son was a toddler but I can still remember the fear whenever he would get sick. Heck, he got a nasty virus this past February and I was scared witless! As long as she isn't vomiting and/or doesn't have diarrhea, I would watch her closely but try not to be too worried. At least she isn't dehydrated. Your pediatrician is on it and, of course, so are you. I'm sorry that she's feeling so poorly and prayers are going up right now that she'll get over this bug and be back to normal ASAP.

thanks everyone

well this morning I got her out of bed and she still felt cool to the touch... and I had her heater at 80 degrees last night to try to help keep her warm. So I sat out on the couch with her while she drank her bottle and it took a while but she finally started to warm up and felt like she was at a regular temperature... thank goodness.

She also seems happier so far today than she was last night.

She's going to the Dr this evening when Brian is done work.

Right now she is back asleep.

Okay you have her cyber auntie's worried now. I looked in my Kaiser book and can't find anything about the cool thing, maybe she was so hot she feels cool now in comparison? I know mothers have insticts about this stuff so I do hope you take her in.

Have you taken her temp today? When my kids where in pre school they were sick all the time it seemed.

She may have felt cold and clammy because she was breaking her fever.
I hope she feels better.
Being sick is no fun.

[prechrswife]

Hope she is feeling better soon! I think I would be off to the doctor's office, too.

[jennielynn1970]

Gosh.. poor Hannah! Do you think it's the flu?? That might explain the hot and cold thing. I feel so badly when the little ones are sick and you don't know how to make them better or if they are just so sick they are inconsolable!

Gentle hugs to Hannah, and hugs to you as well! I hope the doctor has good news and some tasty meds for Hannah to take to get better!

I hope Hannah doesn't have a fever and is feeling better soon. Poor little girl. It's no fun to be sick, but especially around the holidays. So get better fast, Hannah girl!!

[Cookiebaker]

Yea, it never hurts to just take her in and get her checked.

It could be something as simple as roseola. Lydia had this last June...4 or 5 days of a fever followed by a non-itchy rash for a couple of days, and then all better.

I hope your sweet little Hannah feels better ASAP and back to her normal giggily self.

{{Hugs}} Mama!

poor baby!!... my first thought was teething... it can be accompanied by fever...but the cold had me thinking again...

perhaps a viral infection, stomach flu... only fevers, cramps maybe, then cold...

it´s way different but when I was a teen I had super mega heavy cramps.. that made me sweat and feel feverish... then super cold..then hot again.. and made wanna curl on the floor then move every 5 secs as I was not comfortable...

maybe Hannah is having some sort of cramp but baby size... and still make her so uncomfortable she cries it off....

hope she´s ok and the doc finds out why so she can be back to the happy baby she is... ((hugs))

[kimlovescats]

I think I would take her to the doctor. I pray she is all better very soon!

I hope she is feeling better soon!!
