We were sooooo grateful that everyone stayed healthy on our big adventure but it was kind of inevitable that someone would get sick as soon as we returned. Transitioning back to west coast time was brutal. Char and Clark woke up Sunday morning at 4:30AM...ahhhh!! Then Thursday Miss Char popped a fever at school and we all spiraled down.
No strep. No ear infection. Just a weird high fever. Got her rest and she was somewhat normal on Saturday. Then Sunday a little better which was amazing so we could celebrate Stella's 7th birthday and watch Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs eek by a win on Super Bowl Sunday. Randomly, what is up with this dog hat our kids were obsessed with??
Gigi and Char might have sneaked into Stella's makeup and Char came out looking like a powder puff.
Sadly Monday I got another call from school to come get Miss Charlotte because of a suspected pink eye. I was NOT happy as I had a ladies Valentine's party later that morning. Thankfully, we got into the Urgent Care again who confirmed it wasn't bacterial pink eye. The doc cleared char to return to school the next day so she came with me to the end of the party. Slept a lot. Did not like the eye drops we gave her. But woke up Tuesday (Valentine's Day) looking 100% so back to school she went in time for her party.
Whew! Sickness we are done with you! But it's hard not to feel blessed that we didn't miss any fun events. And later that week I found cute pots at Lowes to plant my budding succulents. We started ripping off the backsplash in the bathrooms so that is coming along. And we got a gift of MEAT from the Barrientos. Enough to fill our freezer to the tippy top. So generous and helpful and yummy. We really are so blessed!
