Starting The Fireworks Early

Poor little Harper is starting off the 4th of July with a bang - she woke up this morning with a fever of 100.9 and threw up all over Adam :( I gave her some ibuprofen and laid her in bed with us. She slept with us until 10 AM, when I woke her up to give her more medicine and took her temp, which increased to 102.2!!!! I gave her some apple juice and some crackers, which came back up an hour later. She looked miserable, so I made her a doctor's appointment just to check everything out before the long holiday weekend.
Luckily everything checked out okay. She did have a red/swollen throat, but the strep test came back negative. Harper's fever had gone down to 99.5 when it was checked at the visit.(it had gone down to 99.9 before we left for the doctor's office) She requested a nap shortly after we got home. I sure hope she feels better when she wakes up. We have a busy weekend planned. I'm hoping we're able to go home tomorrow.
Harper has been playing with our thermometers all day and saying "ninety-nine!" She loves taking your temperature :) She knows how to turn any negative situation into something positive :)
