Ava seems to be doing a bit better today, though she spiked a fairly high fever last night. This is when it really gets rough to have her in bed with us. It’s not necessarily that we want her in bed with us, but since she’s still breastfeeding, she tends to wake up at least once a night to nurse. We’ve gotten used to it.
But nights like last night bring us to our wits’ end. Ava’s fever hit about 102 sometime late in the night, and the poor little thing was writhing all over the place. She’d snuggle her hot little body up against me for comfort, then roll away almost immediately as she overheated. We dosed her with Mortin and Tylenol on and off, and by this morning she seemed more herself. A trip to the doctor late this morning confirmed that she’s just dealing with a little virus. Really, it’s good she’s getting this out of the way now, because we’re heading to Decorah next weekend, and it’d be a shame for her to be sick there.
A quick note on spam. I wish I knew more about it. I don’t get a ton here at nicheplayer.net, but recently I’ve been getting these spam comments in my moderation holding pen that are nothing but long lists of URLs for sites in China (I dig looking at the fancy characters). I know these are getting sent out en masse with the hope that some poor blogging patsy isn’t moderating his/her comments, but really, who would be inspired to click these links in any case? There has to be a buck in it somewhere…I just don’t know where.
