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

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.
