A tiny, sick girl in a great big bed

Tiny girl in the big bed

In spite of high fevers since Wednesday, she will have memories of snuggling down in the great big bed with fluffy pillows, a mug of ginger ale, all her favorite movies on Mommy’s TV, and lots of love and attention.

The flu

Bill and I took turns staying with the sick one and were each able to get out of the house for a short time. Yesterday I hit Lowe’s for paver bricks, plants and pond equipment and on Saturday afternoon we made a pond for the turtles and some koi fish. Family came for dinner, and at around 9pm Mia’s fever spiked to 105. 105!*

Feeling terrible

Today we are still battling the fever, but it seems Motrin is finally winning….or the antibiotics are kicking in. A big huge THANK YOU!! to the “evil” pharmaceutical companies who make these drugs to keep my children alive and feeling better. Charge what you need so you can continue to do research and find cures for the illnesses that harm us. I will pay whatever it takes.

*Antibiotics on board (just in case due to the high fever), but it is likely the flu and will just have to run it’s course.
