The other night at bedtime I was getting Sissy into bed and realized that she was very warm. Not just a little warm her little body had heat coming off of it! My first thought would have been to panic and run to the medicine cabinet and grab the fever reducer. Isn't everyone taught that?!?! I have grown a lot the last few years. I have learned a lot and something that I have begin to love is the "Natural" lifestyle. I enjoy simplifying my life and ridding my life of unnecessary chemicals and toxins. Now I am not perfect! I still use my non natural make up! ( has been the hardest transition) I do however do what I feel lead to do,what is best for myself and my family. Every Family is different and I do not condemn others choices. Instead of running to medication I first prayed for my daughter. I kept a close eye on her all night and was there to comfort her. In the morning I made sure she was still drinking fluids. From the research I did I found that a fever is nothing to be alarmed of! It is the body fighting off the illness, It made me smile when the next day Sissy was FINE! Now I am NOT a Doctor and this is NOT medical advise. I knew the signs of a DANGEROUS fever. Sissy had none of those symptoms. My happiness comes from not going into fear and filling my daughter with man made medication that she didn't need!!! I was never taught to do your own research. I was brought up to just listen to what your Doctor says and you don't need to ask questions. I have read soo many Natural Remedies for reducing a fever and luckily I did not have to use them this time. In the future I will though! Today this Mama is just happy to see this little girl smiling and healthy! :)
