Got MAJOR cabin fever!

[fancynewbeesly]

So, it is summer and I am off and DH is working his long hours. I planned a lot of fun things to do with Reese since her appointments are monthly instead of weekly. 

However right now she is on day number #9 (You read that right--9!) of a fever. It started the last night of our vacation, we went to her doctors to get it checked out and it is walking pneumonia. 

So Reese and I have been stuck inside for 9 days. I have been trying to get out in the evenings after DH is home, but it isn't always feasible. I SWORE it was going to break today because yesterday she went from 4:30pm until 2:00am without a fever. Then I gave her tylenol at 2am and she was fine until noon. She is in the middle of a four hour nap, poor kiddo.

And I can't get much done at the house, because when she is feeling good-I am trying to force her to rest--and as soon as I leave the room, she decides to run around and just not rest.

I am so frustrated! We have to call her doctors tomorrow if it hasn't broken by then.

I'm so sorry you're dealing with this. I hope she's on the mend soon - there's still lots of summer left!

Ugh, I'm so sorry. I hope she's feeling better soon!

[nicolewi]

So sorry. I am sure that's super frustrating.

Ugh sorry! Poor things all cooped up

Hang in there I hope she wakes up feeling better and you can get out a bit.

Can you just get out & go for a drive? Plan a route to avoid traffic & rush hours. Pack some snacks or stop at a drive thru & go somewhere scenic for a "picnic" in the car? I'm thinking watching ducks at a pond, watching trucks at a construction site, anything. Just to get out, avoid contact, & force her to rest in her seat. You both need a change of scenery.

Ugh, I'm sorry that is really hard. We go crazy after a day or 2 home.

I like Lying's idea, what about a drive?

Does Great Adventure still have the drive through safari (showing my age, I really have no idea) that might be worth the trek.

I hope her fever breaks and this isn't an issue soon. The driving idea could be fun. What about making bath paint (there are ideas on Pinterest)? Once I let dd "paint" the tub using plastic cookie cutters as stencils.

Poor Reese! Hopefully she is on the mend soon.

Oh no..,that's so hard. Hang in there, and I hope she's well soon!!!

I'm so sorry! Poor her and poor you. I would definitely be going stir crazy. Hope the fever breaks soon!
