UPDATE......

It has been like a circus around here. Yesterday, Taylor was doing pretty much the same.. running fever, but in the 102's. She has not felt good since Monday, but yesterday she really felt bad!! Her temp rose to 103.5 and we just couldn't get it down. We tried all the tricks the doctors and hospitals told us to do, but nothing seemed to work. So, here we go to the emeregncy room. We knew there was not much they could do to treat the flu since Taylor is so young, but we were worried about her temperature rising!! They started and IV..(took 3 times to get it in there.. in her foot) and gave her a drip. It took 4 hours for her temp to go from 103.5 to 100. They were really surprised that it took so long to come down, but decided to let us go home since they stabilized her temp. You could really tell that she felt better as the temp went down. In the middle of all this, James starts to feel bad. He could barely hold his head up!! So, here I am with 2 sick people and ME!!! Of course, I am taking care of both.. but his stubborn self went in to work today!! (late, but he went) He was running fever and throwing up last night.. and he thinks he needs to work! That's a man for you!! So, back to Taylor.. she is doing better today!! Had to follow up with the pediatrition this morning. She said Taylor looks fine.. but that she is just going to have flu symptoms for several more days!! But, NO FEVER!! Her fever was down.. and hopefully it will stay down. I can handle the rest.. just a little tender loving care!! But, I can't handle fever!! Let's just all hope that I don't get the FLU because then we are all in trouble... the whole house will fall apart if MOMMY gets sick!!

Praying for you. Everybody but me has been sick at my house too. Josh had flu and ran fever for many days, then got a nasty ear infection. Rudy had bronchitis. So..I'm feeling your pain. Hope you stay well and little Taylor is better soon. It's so hard when they are little :(
