An Unhappy First

Ally officially has her first cold. We sort of assumed that once she started day care that she would get sick and we were right, it took all of 7 days really. Two other kids at day care were sick with fevers and a cough last week so sure enough she started to sound a little congested early in the week and wasn't sleeping well. We plugged in the humidifier in her room mid week and that seemed to help her sleep a lot better, she didn't wake herself up coughing and we didn't really her any rattling in her chest. She wasn't running any type of fever until yesterday when her little body finally decided it was full on sick. She was acting a little tired last night when she came home from day care and I wasn't feeling well either so we checked and both of us where running a little fever. We gave Ally some baby tylenol and she ate well and was happy so we decided to meet Karl's parents for dinner like we usually do. Well... she fell asleep in the car and when she woke up at the restaurant she was pretty fussy and all of a sudden was throwing up gross green stuff all over! She was hysterical coughing and crying and I was having a hard time calming her down. She settled down enough so we could get her in her car seat and get home. We checked in with her pediatrician (nice when its a family friend who is just a text away) and he said just give tylenol for the fever and watch her so we did. Her fever was back up to 100 but she was still acting happy and normal after another dose of tylenol. I put her to bed at 10:30 and prepared myself for a long night but she actually did really well. She only woke up at 12:30 to eat more then slept from 2 until 8:30. This morning she has been happy but is a little more congested and a little feverish. Its obvious she is having a hard time breathing through her nose but she is still wanting to eat, play and smile so we are confident she will survive. Good thing its the weekend so we can relax at home! Both of us hope to be feeling better when we go back to work and day care on Tuesday.
