That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love

Thanks for all the advice last night. Rose is doing better today. We did take her to the ER because when M picked her up at daycare last night her fever had risen to 104.7, and I was worried it could keep rising. We had a pretty decent ER experience, fortunately; they got us in and out as quickly as possible, about an hour and a half in total. The advice was just what you all were saying: Tylenol/ibuprofen, keep her hydrated and keep an eye on her. I was very relieved when I got to the ER last night to see that she was acting basically normal; a little fussy & clingy, but otherwise her usual inquisitive self, which is a good sign.

She slept well last night and after taking another dose of Tylenol this morning, her temp was down to 99.1. I'm sure it will fluctuate a bit, but am very relieved that it's responding to medication.

I like your doc, Steph.

I hope I can syphon off a bit of msbelle's productivity as I am trying to clean up the den today.

Because books.

Fevers are scary! I'm glad the ER wasn't too onerous, Kate, and I'm glad she's feeling a little better.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

Those pictures almost made me pee a little. Not from excitement, to be clear; from sheer terror.
