Saturday at the Park

Two Saturday's ago, Ellie and I met up with Shauna, Shauna's mom Patti and Laura, Shauna's Aunt, at the Park. Everyone else had the same idea since the weather was nice! It was great to be outside in somewhat warm weather!! We are anxiously awaiting Spring!!!

Ellie playing before Shauna got there!

There is a library right next to the park that hasn't opened yet. It had a huge parking lot, so the girls could ride their bikes without having to worry about cars. The girls used the book drop off line as a race track!

We have had some what of a rough week with Ellie last week. She came down with croup on Sunday. I should have known that she was getting sick. She ALWAYS asks for a bagel as soon as her eyes open on Saturday and Sunday. It was about 9:30 am both days when I realized she hasn't asked for anything to eat! That's always a sign for me when she is about to get sick...not wanting to eat!

Back to the croup.....this is the third time since January that she has had it. They hadn't treated her for it previously because they said it wasn't a bad case. Christian stayed home with her on Monday and took her to the doctor. She gave us a prescription for an antibiotic "just in case she got worse." Christian called me about 1 pm and said she had started running a fever...101.9. I got the prescription filled and started her on that Monday evening. At 12 am that night, she woke up with 103.1 fever! I hate fevers! The scare me so much! She was so hot! To hold her, made me hot! Then she was lying on me and I could feel her heart racing! It scared me! I took her temp about fifteen minutes after I had given her another round of Tylenol and it was down to 102.9. That made me feel a little better! She started feeling better while at home on Tuesday!!

She still is not herself. She is very emotional! I am not sure what is wrong. I ask her whats the matter and she says she doesn't know! I am not sure either! I am hoping she will be back to her old self soon!!
