Snow/Sick Day

Last night it sleeted and frozen rained. And it stuck. 3.5 inches to be exact.

Parker cancelled classes. Bright Horizons closed. Phillip could barely get out of the garage - and couldn't get back in. So we're all at home hanging out. Which is great so we don't have to get out in this terrible weather.

But what isn't so great is the fact that our baby girl is sick. Her first virus - probably resulting from her first week at school and being around so many people last week during Thanksgiving.

I had to pick her up early on Wednesday because she was running a 100.5 fever. That afternoon we were luckily able to secure an afternoon doctor's appointment, where they told me it was pretty much just a virus that has to run its course - with the help of Tylenol and Benadryl if it got bad enough.

Yesterday morning, her fever was gone and she had no other symptoms so she went back to school. She seemed to be feeling better - until Phillip picked her up last night. She was running a 100.4 fever, was coughing like crazy, could hardly breathe out of her nose, and her eyes were watering. Therefore, in the ice and bad weather, Phillip ran to the store to get Benadryl.

This morning she seems to be doing better. No fever yet again, but still has the other symptoms. Since we're all home, she gets some good TLC from mommy and daddy - along with being chalked full of meds all day.

Hopefully she kicks this thing sooner rather than later. She's so sad when she doesn't feel good.
