Would you please say a prayer for Ella? She started running a fever at midnight last night and it's been climbing ever since. It's now at 103.6 degrees. She's restless and achy and just feeling crappy all over. We've never seen her so lethargic. This is definitely the sickest she's been in her two short years of life.

We took her in to her pediatrician this morning. They tested her for H1N1, which came back negative. They also checked her inflammation levels (which would indicate an infection in her kidneys, bladder, sinuses, etc.) and white blood cell count, both of which were okay too.

So the doctor's guess is that it's just a nasty virus that needs to run it's course.

In the meantime, our baby is hurting and it's hard to do nothing but give her Tylenol and Motrin and pray that she feels better soon.
