Spoiler alert- fever broke

Natalie starting fevering Wednesday night and (spoiler alert) it just broke now. 99.9F 
I am so relieved

It's been crazy cuz she would throw up immediately after oral Tylenol. Like we can hear her stomach rumble & see it retract, then she would hurl. Nonstop vomiting, again and again.  everything would come out. 
This  happened 3x, even with a little bit of Tylenol

I knew the dehydration coupled with temps of 101-102 would warrant an ER visi

Luckily, I remembered that Tylenol is available as a suppository. So James was running around town, found it at the 4th pharmacy

& we've been "controlling" her temps with that.  At one point today, it was 104F but luckily not for long.  
Between every 2 hour rectal temp checks, nursing every 1.5- 2 hours and nonstop cat naps (requiring us holding and soothing her).. I'm exhausted
And it's only 5 am
