Florida - Day 2

Olivia's temp at 9:30 today was just over 102 so she got more Tylenol and we talked to Jan again. Aside from being a little more clingy than usual, she wasn't seeming sick. She was acting like herself, asking questions, talking a lot and being pretty sweet. She ate a little fruit and yogurt, which encouraged us. I gave her a bath (finally) and then we went outside to enjoy the high 60's and sunny morning weather. After chatting with the neighbors and pushing her stroller around, Olivia took a two+ hour nap, during which my mom ran to the store and bought some children's Ibuprofin, which Auntie Jan recommended we alternate with the Tylenol. When she woke up, she ate a little bit and we went outside again. I painted Olivia's fingernails and toenails bright pink, which she loved. We decided to walk down to the pool. Grandpa rode his bike, and my mom and I pushed Olivia's stroller. When we got there, Olivia was eager to go for a swim. We hadn't planned on swimming, just checking it out, but Olivia had more than dipping her toes in the pool in mind. We soon took off her drenched capri pants, and then her shirt. Seeing that she definitely wanted to swim, I took the bike back to the house and got a suit for her, changed into mine and grabbed the camera and a few towels. She LOVED the pool. We swam for quite a while. She checked out the "water mountain" (water fountain), she crawled along the edge of the pool, and played on the stairs. When she was ready to get out, we stripped her down and she layed on the warm cement, wrapped in a towel. It was a great time. We thought the water may have cooled her off a bit. After a quick bath, she ate a pretty good dinner and had more medicine. Her last temp check showed 102.2. It's puzzling that her temperature remains high, though her demenor is pleasant. She seems almost totally normal. I'm glad for it, and happy that the fever hit AFTER our long day of traveling, not during it. We ended the evening reading books, playing the piano and hunging around until bedtime (7 p.m.). She is sleeping soundly, but the Tylenol and thermometer are ready to roll if we have a repeat of last night. Pray for a complete healing, please. We are planning to visit the beach and/or the outlet mall tomorrow :)
