my daughter ( for those of you who were wondering)

She was doing better today except for a little pain in the legs while she was playing. Most of the day she was just laying on the couch. Towards dinnertime she and my 2 year old both came down with a fever of 99 and 99.4. After giving them both children's Tylenol, they both seemed fine so we shall see what the night holds and what tomorrow holds. At bedtime we did a long soak in the tub to make sure she got a relaxing soak on her little muscles and she seemed fine when I laid her down. So we shall see. Thanks for all of your comments on how to help her. It means a lot. I'm so young and it's hard to do this on my own and know what to do all the time.

Well, if it helps any I had my first and only child at 26 and there were times I didn't know what to do as well. Anyone with a new baby will wonder what to do, so don't be too hard on yourself. You get the advice of someone more experienced and that helps. Glad your little one's pain in the legs got better. Wishing you the best and to stay strong, your little ones need you.
