All better...we hope!

Kaylee still had a fever last night when she went to bed, but she was acting more energetic than Saturday night/Sunday morning. She again climbed into bed on her own, said, "night-night" and went to sleep right away. She slept until 8:30 this morning, so I guess she really needed some sleep! We went in to get her when she woke up and she bounced out of bed like she usually does and was acting normal again. Her temperature was back down to normal and so far she seems to be better. Maybe just a 24 hour thing? In any case, we're happy she's doing well and as long as she doesn't spike a fever later today, she'll be fine to go to school tomorrow (kids have to be fever-free for at least 24 hours before returning to school after being sick). Sort of put a damper on our weekend and we skipped church yesterday, but at least she's not missing any school - and we have today for her to finish recovering before diving back into major activities.

Feel better soon Kaylee!

Glad she's feeling better. When I took Ian to the pediatrician for his ear infection, he said that a lot of summer colds have been going around. And he did mention one that caused the kid to spike a fever for 24-48 hours.

Thanks - I'm hoping it's just due to her cold. She really has no symptoms other than the runny nose and fever. She did have a slight fever again after nap, but not as high as yesterday, so I'm going to keep her home from school tomorrow and let her rest a bit more. Hopefully she'll be fine after another good night's rest! If not, I'll call the doc and take her in tomorrow.
