Haiku Friday - The 1 Year Old Curse?

Got that dreaded call
again to come pick up V
she has a fever

102.5
and she was acting tired
so off to get her

I want to add a little commentary to this week's Ku. When I got V home I used my temporal thermo and I got too got 102.something on one side and 104.3 on the other. Why I get different readings I will never know. I gave her some motrin and she slept for a few. She woke happier and played for a little bit until the fever started creeping back up. When my hubby came home she was sleeping in my arms some and we decided to check her again, 105.7! Wow, never had I seen such a high reading. We called our Pedi and they told us to undress her and rub her down with some cold towels and give her more medicine. We also used the rectal thermo and that reading was 104.1. But the Pedi told us that they didn't need to see her as long as she was responsive. She ate dinner and went to bed. By 10:00 pm we decided to give her some more meds and woke her up. Fever was still 104 but she was sleeping it off. Luckily this morning its way down to 99.

My reason for posting this is cause I think there is a '1 Year Old Curse' which has struck all my kids when they turn 1. All of them were sick/teething/unhappy for their first birthdays. Miss V's big day is Sunday. Looks like since she caught this curse a little earlier than the other two she may not be a cranky mess come Sunday but who knows. Turning 1 must be tough for their little bodies and as parents we make a huge deal about this first bday that they could care less about. :)

Anyone else's kids get struck by the 1 Year Old Curse?
