Because of this recurring fever, she ended up missing the entire week of school. Nick stayed home with her on Monday, and she spent most of the day like this. Pretty pitiful.
She perked up a bit on Tuesday, which was the day of Z's first school field trip, so when I took his picture to commemorate, she insisted on having her picture made "in my Frozen pajamas with Blue."
This pattern continued as you can clearly see, wild maniac running through the house naked to crashing on the couch.
Despite the normal, albeit wildly swinging behavior, after the third morning waking up with fever, I decided to take her to the doctor. He confirmed she had Croup, the mutant fevery kind, and that there wasn't much we could do about it.
She was a trooper at the doctor's office.
They pricked her finger to check her blood for infection, and when the nurse left, she said "That girl hurt my finger!" But she didn't mind the band-aid.
It was kindof a rough week, but I am so thankful my mom was able to give her lots of TLC (and food and fluids) to get her through it!
By Friday, we were on the mend and just in time for ballet (folding laundry) and a nice relaxing weekend!
