sickly baby January 4, 2008
C. was very fussy all day yesterday (I was off, at home with her) and I didn’t realize until evening that she felt terrible. Her little cheeks kept getting rosier and rosier - Jon and I even commented on it - until I suddenly had an “aha” moment and realized she must be developing a fever, which she was.
We had a difficult night. Unhappy baby. Fever, Sleeplessness. Baby tylenol, She wanted to nurse but it hurt to nurse. I suspect an ear infection, so she’ll go to Dr. Glover later today. Luckily, Jon was able to stay home with her today.
I had forgotten how pitiful it is when an infant feels that bad. You want so much to be able to explain to her WHY she is feeling bad, but all she knows is that she hurts and no one she trusts to make her feel better seems to be making her feel better.
Aw poor C.! I hate when the wee ones are sick and can’t tell you. On another note…I ADORED DR. GLOVER when mine were babies! He is the best.
