Monday, Sick Maddy Monday


The snow came on Sunday and the sickies came on Monday...boo!  Madison woke up just fine and happy and then took a turn for the worse and it got worse and worse.  I don't usually head to doctors very often but Madison had a fever (again, usually not a concern for me) but got so fatigued that she was practically passing out in my arms...that's when I got scared.  So we ran to the clinic and they (also concerned) ran all kinds of poking and prodding tests (definitely not Madison's favorite part of her day!).  There so much gunk going around town that they checked her for RSV, Influenza and Strep.  Thankfully, all tests came back negative and her bloodwork didn't show anything concerning.  So they sent us home to watch the fever, keep her hydrated and get some rest.  Well, Madison took those orders to heart.  She fell asleep in the doctor's office as seen below and stayed asleep after I tucked her into her own bed and slept for the next FIVE hours!  The poor little thing.  Luckily, that did the trick and she woke up a bit perkier and had her appetite back that night.  Still, she was happy to take advantage of the blow up bed in the living room and lounging about watching TV the remainder of the day.  We're still managing the fever which keeps creeping back up every now and then but hopefully we are on the mend!
