Lets Hope It's Just a Bug

Tuesday Lillian and I went to our mommy & me class and she played great with the other kids, and even shared her snack with some new friends. But later that afternoon while we were shopping for some last minute birthday supplies Lillian started to feel really warm. So I darted into Rite Aid to purchase a thermometer and she had 101.8! Of course the first thing that popped into my mind was the anesthesiologist telling us to really watch her because of all the food and fluid that she aspirated into her lungs. She had told us that if Lillian had any kind of fever to call our doctor immediately, which of course I did. Our doctor told us to go ahead and bring her in just to be on the safe side sense she did aspirate a lot of food and fluid during her surgery. Although her lungs were still "wet" all of her other lab work checked out ok. We headed home with the simple instructions for us to bring her back in if her fever continued or got any worse.

This morning Lillian woke-up and cuddled for longer than usual, but played and ate just like normal for the rest of the day. Right before Shaun got home from work I noticed that Lillian was getting warm again and by the time Shaun walked through the door her fever was 101-and that was after I had already given her Tylenol. We pretty much spent the rest of the night cuddling on the couch and loving on our little girl. Shaun and I are just hoping that this is just a bug and that it will pass before her birthday party this Saturday.
