So Matilda is 8 hours from her last dose of Tylenol and her temperature is under 100, which feels like huge progress. Although we do keep thinking her fever has broken, and then we wake up in the middle of the night to crazy-high-should-go-to-the-ER-but-didn't temperature ranges. Last night during our 2 a.m. soaking session Matilda was again in great spirits. After her temp came down a bit and we climbed out of the bath she requested to "eat breck." She's been eating crummy the past few days and I figured some cereal and milk would at the very least be cold and get liquids into her. She sat down and proceeded to eat FOUR bowls of cereal. I can never remember, is the addage "starve a cold, feed a fever," or the other way around?
On bowl number 3.

With regards to medicine, I know she is a little on the young side but have you tried the strips that dissolve on the tongue?? Emily hated medicine for a little while, so we used those for things like Benedryl. I think they may make those for tylenol now. They are really expensive, but might work. The beauty of the product is that is dissolves so fast, if you can get their mouth open, you can get medicine into them and they can't spit it out. You can also cut them in half with sharp dry scissors. Hope it helps. Sorry to hear about the fever though as that is a real drag!!
