Really all those teeth at once...

So C has long been the winner in the most teeth contest comparted to K. K had one tooth at 13 months. C had 8 at 8 months... We returned home to two very very happy monkeys! C unfortunately felt a bit warm to the touch and was a bit fussy. We decided this was all linked to missing mommy and daddy and just spent the time enjoying her. Unfortunately by 4pm in the middle of a bday party for one of K's friends she was really hot... and so the fever began... over 102 degrees lasting for over 16 hours... the medicine did nothing to bring it down and so we worried, called urgent care as if we were first time parents and spent all night Sunday holding our little girl... especially when her breathing became very fast and shallow we became very very worried... As it turns out finally the fever broke the 102+ range and she was finally able to sleep. Monday resulted in a doctor's visit as she still was not her normal self... everything looked ok... except her swollen gums and about five molars who all decided to appear at once. A little dehydration was treated with Jamba Juice and it appeared we were through the worst of it. Unfortunately the fever returned about an hour after the doctor's visit and is still here today. Nothing like it was, but still here... Here's to hoping the teeth do their thing quickly and our little girl returns... we are really missing her. Now that vacay seems like quite a distant memory.
