Fever in the morning, Fever throughout the day

Cassidy came into our room this morning, crying with a bit of wet under her nose, "Momma, I need a tissue." We had a nice Easter with the other Cassidy and her family the night before. The girls had been running around for the last half hour before we left so my kids were beat and went to bed without any fuss last night. I got Cassidy a tissue and snuggled her up into bed with me. It was then that I noticed how hot she felt. This wasn't just a sniffle or a cold. Cassidy fell asleep again, and when she woke up I forced some food on her and gave her Tylenol. She livened up a bit after that, but managed to only jump once today. Which, if you know Cassidy means something was very wrong. She's usually climbing and jumping off of anything that sits still long enough. She took a nap in the afternoon after her second dose of Tylenol. It was hard getting her to eat food today, but we managed to get some dinner in her too. She was so pale and quiet around her normal bedtime, and we were checking WebMD to make sure we weren't missing anything. I just checked on her a scant 2 hours later, and her fever seems to be breaking. Phew. Again, we have been so fortunate that our girls have never been very sick. Here's hoping that Keira doesn't get it tomorrow as Cassidy will stay home from school again, but if she's feeling better she'll be jumping off of everything.
