Still Sick.

 Ava is still sick.  She woke up crying, feverish and miserable.  

She then fell back to sleep and woke up some time later all 

sweaty and hot, screaming that her tummy still hurts.

I took her to the doctor yesterday, they did a bunch of tests and 

decided that it was her throat that is the issue but that she
doesn't have strep and she doesn't have mono.  

So I guess that is good right?

In truth, knowing what she doesn't have isn't all that helpful
in getting her better. They told us to wait to see if her fever
lasts 3 more days.
We are on day 6 of a fever, day 8 of being sick.

 I just want her to feel better!

 

 To help the children cope we have gotten some

old toys down out of the attic.

Norah likes them, Ava LOVES them.

Don't let Ava fool you in these pictures.

Poor girl doesn't feel well but she is loving 

these toys.

 She also loves watching movies all day

and having us wait on her hand and foot.

Sometimes I wonder if she actually 

WANTS to get well??

At first thought, I decided if Ava woke

up sick again today I would just drink all day.

On second thought I decided that I would

make salsa instead.

That seems like a healthier way of 

dealing with the stress right?

So rather then drinking all day I ended up eating

way too many chips for breakfast.

What can you do??

This salsa is so good that I am pretty sure I have 

totally redeemed myself from last years

embarrassing salsa travesty.

 I think we may need to have margaritas to 

celebrate!!

Please send healthy thoughts our way (and tequila)!  

I seriously don't think I can do this much longer!

Ugh.
