Thursday at Ruthie's appointment the doctor was talking about how healthy Ruthie has been. I think he was surprised that we haven't been in the hospital with some sort of illness. He said you must not have her around a lot of sick kids. I was so proud. I felt like a good mother. Well guess what doc?! You jinxed us! The very next night Ruthie had a high fever and runny nose. Poor kid she looks pretty miserable. On top of feeling miserable, she has taken quite a few spills since learning to walk so she looks a little pitiful too. She has two scratches on her forehead and a HUGE bruise on her cheek. We call her bruiser after the jazz player Boozer.
I don't really know what to do. I have been giving her medicine like tylenol and ibuprofen.This helps a ton but as soon as its out of her system you can tell. She won't let me put her down and goodbye to sleeping. I am hoping its just teeth and will pass. So any mothers out there with some good remedies let me know. And when do I know when I should take her to the Doc? So many worries as a mom....
