A tiny, sick girl in a great 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.
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!*
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.
What a perfect place for a sick mermaid, amongst all that coral!
Poor little pretty! Tell her Aunt Pam says to get better. Flu is going around up here too. But I cannot imagine a cozier bed to be in if I were sick! The coral is gorgeous, as is that yummy pillow.
Aww, poor sweet precious thing. Praying she’s feeling better really really soon.
NOthing sadder than a sick child—hope she gets well soon
Bless her little heart.
No matter how many kids you have, when they have a fever like that, it is just SCARY.
I hope that bug leaves your house without any one else getting sick!
hope she getsto feeling better
Those big bad evil pharm companies! Lol!
Your bed makes me think of the movie “The Quiet Man” – “Is that a bed or…or a parade ground?! Ah, a man would have to be a sprinter to catch his wife in a bed that big!”
Get well soon Mia!
