Mysterious Toddler Illness #72903578
Sep. 14th, 2006 09:49 amWell, Boo has survived yet another mysterious 6-hour toddler illness. She came home from preschool with a fever and a headache, threw up once, went to bed, and got up at 7:30 the next morning with, apparently, no ill effects at all. Well, she did have a headache, the cure for which was, according to her, a popsicle.
As always, I'm amazed at the resilience of the average pre-schooler. Her preschool is, at the moment, something of a plague house, featuring strep throat, viruses, rashes, and (somewhat scarily) a case of chicken pox. And yet, by now I feel that this is somewhat normal, that the natural state of The Toddler is to run amok among disease and end up with a mild fever and tummy-ache that's gone the next morning.
