Thanks for the concern, friends! Not much time with Sydney being sick...
Put her to bed and she got back up about 45 minutes ago needing to pee, but that is a good thing since she hasn't been going to the bathroom! However she was shaking and I checked her and she was 103.8 degrees...
Dan said to check her again in a couple hours and if she isn't better, he will come in and either take her to ER or stay with Nathan while I go. My biggest concern is dehydration. Granted she has gone twice since 8 p.m., but she hadn't gone in 16 hours before that. And she only drank about 10 ounces today so I don't know how she even was able to go to the bathroom twice on that small amount. When she got up and was almost 104 her cheeks were really red. What worries me is that even with a high temp, she was not sweaty at all, very dry.
On the Dan front, he had an unexpected (allegedly) trip to Chicago pop up again. He has to go tomorrow night after work and gets back Wed. night.
Oh and every single time my daughter has seen him since he got back from Chicago, she has greeted him with "I want you to bring your jammies home." Actually, I am reminded of the scene in Steve Martin's "The Jerk" where he makes a list and it keeps growing (All I need is this remote control...and this ashtray...and this etc etc etc)
Because first she called him Saturday to say hi (her idea, it was a "mom" day), and as soon as he picked up she said, "I want you to bring your jammies to our house". Then yesterday he met us at church and she said, "I want you to bring your jammies and your toothbrush to our house Dad." He said, "Not right now honey..." Then last night he brought Nathan back from the county fair--Sydney stayed with his parents during that time b/c she was sick--and Sydney was home with me. She said, "I want you to bring your jammies and your toothbrush and toothpaste to our house"
Out of the mouths of babes...tonight she repeated the list from last night plus cowboy boots. He just said, "I know honey."
Not much time with Sydney being sick...
