shagoo me.
Violet has been spiking a temperature about every 7 or 8 hours since last Wednesday. She plays and drinks well in between fevers and when the Ibuprofen is working but she is pathetic when she is hot. Since today is day 6 of fevers, we are going to make another visit to the pediatrician.
We have been taking turns sleeping with her at night. She wakes frequently and whines or cries and says things that may or may not make sense. She is usually pretty warm and needs some medicine and water. She always wants shagooed when she is uncomfortable. Shagoo: the very light touching of fingertips to the arms, face, legs while chanting "shagoo shaga". Last night Nate and I both slept with Vi because we were a little concerned. It was much easier to share the shagoo burden.
I have a cold that started last Monday and I feel better (although I am pretty tired) but still sound like I have a head cold. Nate caught the unholy virus on Friday and has been sick since. Anara is still going strong with only a hint of illness (the faintest runny nose and maybe a tiny bit warm at times). Hopefully today is our last day of feeling puny.
