My Little Sickling

Our sweet little Stella was sick for the first time! It was awful! We know three other little girls who have been sick this week, too. The doctor said that it’s going around. Stella started getting sick on Monday. She was very lethargic. Then that night we took her temperature and it was around 103! I was kind of freaking out because a lot of the deaf people I know became deaf from a high fever when they were young. Although I love deaf people, their language, and culture, I want Stella to keep her hearing of course, so I slept in her room that night. It was a rough night. The next day her temperature went down a bit, but then after her nap it was back up to 103. I called the doctor, and they said that she really should be seen. He gave us an antibiotic to fill today if her fever hadn’t gone down, but luckily it did! Hooray for Tylenol! We are staying home all day just to be sure her temperature stays down, and to help her recuperate. Whew! I can breathe now!
