Finally -- MISSION accomplished!

Hopefully, Morgan will be feeling better soon! She woke up at 12:30 crying for me! I brought her to our bed where she immediately fell back asleep. At 2 a.m., I woke up and realized that Morgan was really hot! Not just her head, her whole body was burning up! Because our power was out due to the ice on the trees, I scrambled around to find a flashlight and found the thermometer, Tylenol and Motrin. She seemed to feel fine! Her temperature was 102.4. We gave her some Tylenol and then went back to sleep. After we woke up this morning, her temperature was back up to 100.4. So, she got some Motrin, while I called in sick to school and left a message for the nurse at Dr. Rhodes office. Both of us went back to sleep as Dad was getting ready for work. We awoke to the nurse's call. She told me to just watch Morgan and make sure she got enough fluids. She thought it could be a UTI and to just see if she had any accidents today. I then realized that she did have an accident at grandfather's yesterday and one the day before here at home. We thought it was strange because she always makes it to the potty. So, after getting to the doctor's office, we only got one drop of urine in the cup, not near enough. Well, one juice box and five books later....mission accomplished! So, we are just taking it easy hanging out around the house, about to watch Beethoven's 3rd!
