Over the Hump



For the past several days Aubree has been fighting a nasty bug. It started last week when she woke up Thursday morning with a fever. Thursday and Friday were spent at Nana's (H and M were off having a garage sale in our garage) so Aubree spent most of the day on the couch watching TV, coloring, etc. There was some throwing up, headache, etc. Saturday brought a party that H & M were supposed to go to. She said she was feeling better and although she had a fever, she seemed to be doing better sooooo...... Off to the party and CJ babysat. (I think Aubree was so excited to have CJ come and spend the time with her that she would have faked feeling better just to have her come.)
Well right after dinner H got a call that Aubree was throwing up and was worse. So back home they go..... then to the ER.
"Must be a virus - bad case of the flu" was the conclusion. Clear liquids for the next couple of days. Sunday was much of the same, however, when we looked in her throat - lots of spots. (They - the ER doctor - never looked in her throat on Saturday????) Back to the pediatrician on Monday. Lots of poking, blood, swabs, etc. Everything negative. Virus????
Monday was spent at Nana's - Here she is - Not so good.

And...... Here she is on Tuesday - Still not so good.
Back on Wednesday. Still a bit of a fever but don't you think she looks better. I think she is over the hump.
Cute story -- When Heather told her on Thursday she must have a "bug". Aubree decided that must be what it was. She said when she was playing outside the day before a bug flew up and hit her in the forehead so that must have been it.
It is so good to see her feeling better. I hate when kids get sick.
(Aubree just saw the post and said "That's what I look like when I am sleeping - Owugh!)

She looks like Patty when she's sleeping... man that Emmerich gene is strong. I'm glad she is feeling better nothing worse than a sick child.

Sounds like a case of the "wedding flu" as I like to call it. :)

Glad to hear she is better!! I told Heather on facebook - to take Aubree to Nana's-- from little on (and Jake still likes to go) when my kids where sick and I had to work, they went to Grandma's and they always felt better -- we called it "Grandma Spa" and sometimes EVERYONE needs alittle "spa" time!! ~Tammi~
