Alexis Update
This is one, not feelng well, totally wiped out little girl! About 10 o'clock this morning she climbed up into my lap, snuggled into my neck and WENT TO SLEEP! Anyone that knows Alexis knows that is not her! So I took her upstairs and put her in bed with me and we both took a nap and she slept for almost 3 hours. The fact that she slept, not only with someone lying next to her, but in a bed that was not her own, is also is totally out of character for Alexis!
We just gave her another dose of Motrin and she's lying in the floor at my feet next to my desk saying "Mommy, I cry!" while she whimpers. Her fever came back up a little higher than I would have liked given that we slept through the time when we should have given her the next dose, but it's coming back down. We rubbed her down with a tepid washcloth as advised and she is drinking more ice water. The doctor's office that saw her last night called to check on her again just as Alexis and I were coming downstairs from our nap. I don't usually take naps, but when I tried to leave she would hold on tighter. She needed me and I'm not going to argue with that, even though I feel a little blah as I usually do when I takes naps, but hopefully that will wear off in a bit.
We're going to go watch some "Cooking Shows" and have some cuddles on the couch! We'll give another update later in the day.

Did the doctor have a name for that viral thing?

No. He just said it was a viral syndrome.
