Gwen is sick with the same crazy flu going around our elementary school, but with an added twist today she decided to turn blue out of the...well, blue.
"Mommy I don't feel so good. Can you take my temperature??"
"You don't look so good honey. Let's see...."
95.1 - Ok that's really low. Maybe she didn't put it under her tongue all the way? 95.7 Ok maybe a different thermometer? 95.5 This is the point where I panic. I mean, she slept all day yesterday, but so did her brother when he had the flu, but at no point has either of my kids been under temperature. Turns out she's dehydrated. Turns out she needs 2-4oz. of Gatorade every hour. If she can't keep it down we proceed to the ER. If she turns blue again our doctor is on call tonight. And either way we'll be in his office bright eyed and bushy tailed at 8:15 tomorrow morning. Blech!
