Lucy had her first fever this weekend...after acting fussy and just not herself on Saturday, we realized she had one. We gave her baby Advil every six hours, as per the doctor's suggestion, and on Sunday morning the fever was gone...But it came back.
She still had a fever this morning so we went to the doctor...Lucy was actually in a pretty good mood and had lots of fun crinkling the paper on the exam table!
The doctor told us she has a viral infection and many times a fever is the only symptom...but then she found a little sore on her throat - kind of like a kanker sore, she told us. Lucy has a strain of hand-foot-and-mouth disease.
There is no treatment other than giving her the baby Advil to keep her comfortable but it's spread via saliva...we called Aunt Jessi but she said she and Uncle Craig and Alli still wanted to come trick or treating with us...yay! Just no wet kisses or sharing cups, etc!
Lucy hopes everyone has a very happy Halloween!
