Day 41 - Out of Town Trip and a Sick Toddler

Last night was scary. My toddler woke with a burning hot body and a fever of 102. We were up most of the night, after giving her a dose of acetaminophen to take down the fever. But all night long, she tossed and turned and fussed. Her little cheeks were bright red, her nose a clear runny liquid.

And today, of all days, I am scheduled to leave for an out-of-town business trip. My first EVER convention. Ugh. I have a doctor's appointment scheduled for her at 10:30, my husband will leave his work for the day and relieve me at 11:15 so that I can pack and hit the road by noon.

Just another reason why it stinks to work full-time and try to raise my babies. But...thank the Lord for my health insurance coverage so I can take my sick child in for a doctor visit.

I pray today for God's healing on my baby girl...for safe travels for me...and for a calm and nurturing spirit from my husband towards my children in my absence. Amen.
