In the last week, we have celebrated with Elsie and Mary Grace on their first days of preschool, nursed Elsie through what we were told was likely H1N1, thought we were illness free so celebrated with Jack Roberts on his 3rd birthday, served our church in two separate services on Sunday morning, watched as our wonderful painter transformed our drab kitchen and living/dining/loft into a bright, freshly-painted area, moved countless pieces of furniture to prepare for said painting, and tried to keep our heads above water at work. Oh, and I fit in a hot 8-mile run with Adrienne.
Just when we thought we were back to normal with a typical Monday morning routine, Mrs. Lentz called from Happy Apple to tell me that Mary Grace was running a fever and not feeling well. Here we go again! Stephen picked her up as she was walking back to Miss Julie's with the gang and stayed with her until early afternoon. I then took her to the doctor's office where we waited for almost 2 hours to see her doctor.
Thankfully, she tested negative for flu but the doc thought her throat looked a little red. Armed with prescriptions for an antibiotic, cough medicine, and a steroid, we headed for Publix. While we were waiting for the pharmacist to fill her scripts, Mary Grace threw up. Bless her heart, though, we made it to the bathroom just in time! We got the medicine and came home, where she fell fast asleep on the sofa watching Dora.
She and Elsie have been in bed for an hour. Hopefully, she'll be feeling much better tomorrow.
I have taken pictures of Elsie's first day, our sick days at home on Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday, and Jack's party on Saturday. I'll post those when I get a chance to upload them.
Pray for Mary Grace to get well soon and for this beginning of school sickness to leave our home!
