In the middle of the night, you came to my room – around 2:30a. You were squirmy and took quite a while to fall back to sleep. It’s unusual any more for you to even come to my room in the middle of the night, and you have almost always fallen back to sleep quickly. I went to the gym and when I came back you were sleeping with Daddy. He later told me that you woke up, patting the bed and were looking for me. When he told you I was at the gym, you were mad and said “Mommy always has something to do before waking up. Riding her bike and everything.”
I had a hard time waking you up. You finally came out to the living room around 8a and you were complaining that your belly hurt. I was sitting on the couch and went to pick you up to snuggle with you. You cried out that it hurt your belly and you ran back to my room & climbed in bed. You wanted me to snuggle with you so I did. You told me you didn’t feel well enough to go to school & a few minutes later you had fallen back to sleep. I thought you might just need to poop, but when you were sleeping again, I knew something else was going on. You were clinging to my arms with your hands and wanted me to stay close by, so I did.
I started to worry because you slept literally all day. In the morning, I tried to get you to eat some applesauce and you had 2 bites. Your fever was consistently 100.6 all day and you barely moved. I took you for a covid test just to be safe and in case school would require it. You cried when I put you in the car, then immediately fell asleep on the way there & slept the whole way home. You finally woke up a little after 6p & ate 2 popsicles. You agreed to take a tepid bath & then we snuggled in your bed. You dozed off then when I went to leave you woke up and wanted to go to the couch to watch a little tv. I knew as soon as you woke up with so much more energy that the worst was behind us and I was grateful. We stayed up until 9:30p watching TV then headed to our room. You wanted to watch a little more TV, so I put it on. Both Daddy & I fell asleep. I woke up at 12:30a and you were still sitting up watching (since you slept all day) but I told you it’s time for bed, we shut the TV off & you were snoring in a few minutes.
I love you so much!
