Well, the last few days have been a bit of a challenge. Lillie was at a playdate with some friends from the ward, and she started to feel unusually warm. When we got home, she had a 103 temperature. Uh oh, mommy's first fever!! After giving her some Tylenol and holding her much of the afternoon, we got a little bit of playtime in and some dinner. During the night, her temperature went up to 105 and we were a little concerned, so we called a friend of ours who is a physician. The Motrin/Tylenol regimen every 3 hours kicked into place. The next day mommy took her to the doctors and found out she has hand, foot and mouth disease. The only thing we can do is care for the fever. So, here is Lillie being distressed.


Lillie's temperature is doing much better. She still has a slight fever, but it's down to 99-100 degrees. She's pretty contagious to other kids, and daddy is at Trek for the Stake, so mommy and Lillie are hunkering down and riding out this fever at home for the next 4 days or so, until the fever goes away. We'll call it bonding time!!


Look, I got a smile!!
