With Lucy’s rocephin shot yesterday, her fever has FINALLY broken! She was able to get some good rest last night, which was so nice for all of us.
  This little peanut cracks me up, I won’t say being sick has not totally knocked her out, but little times here and there she is pulling crazy stunts like this. 😳 Her new favorite thing is to be UP on things. And when she gets up on something, she is usaually very proud of herself and claps for herself. (As long as she doesn’t fall.) Such a turkey!  Since we were unable to attend our Easter egg Hunt on Wednesday, and Jaime and I both had to miss the neighborhood hunt last Sunday, we decided to do a small hunt for the kids at our park, with Briana and her kids too. The kids really had fun, and Lucy even smiled for most of it.  Hadley was making sure Lucy didn’t have her goods. 😂  Lucy is SO close to just taking off. I love seeing her so proud of herself and smiling. I am ready for her to be well again.  Maybe this darn strep is finally conquered. 

  This poor baby girl needs a break so bad. Nothing like running a high fever for 4 days straight! She is so exhausted and miserable. She wants to relax and rest but the antibiotics have messed her tummy up so bad, she just cannot get comfortable. Every time I see this face, looks like a smile but is really a grimace, I know she’s about to arch and scream. We’ve been doing this ever since her second dose of the amoxicillin.  Dr. Lin decided it would probably be better to get an antibiotic shot. With 12+ diarrhea diapers in the last 24hrs, I think I agree. I just hope it helps.  Everything is frustrating her today…   …and I hate seeing her this way! 

 I had finally gotten our very sick little girl to sleep, but we had to rush downstairs because of this… That is coming down in the front yard.We had to wait until it completely stopped to take pictures, so we missed some of the HUGE hail balls. THAT BY FAR was the worst hailstorm I have ever been through.  So much hail fell, and so fast, it sounded like it was going to come straight through the roof.   Luckily, Little Miss found her happy spot across my legs and stayed asleep.   Our damage is quite extensive: dented vehicles, busted light and screens, broken fan, busted window frames, beaten fence and gutters, and of course our roof is destroyed. In the aftermath, I’m grateful no windows were broken and that we are all safe.   I don’t ever want to go through that again!

With Lucy being sick, she missed swim class yesterday. She loves swim so much too!   So, since her fever was still really high this morning, I thought it would be fun to take her swimming in our garden tub.  She had a blast, and we both got all wrinkly we stayed in so long. ☺️  I am really starting to get worried about her though. I think her antibiotics are messing up her tummy. We have had SO many poopy diapers today. As the day went on, she started doing these episodes of screaming and balling up in pain. I finally had to put her in the Ergo so she could rest. She looks like she is wearing a cape, but this little super girl is not feeling so super.   By the time night came, Lucy was miserable!  I think it is going to be a LONG night!

  I brought this cutie patootie in to the doctor today to figure out why she has a fever. I was guessing an ear infection because she has not been eating or sleeping very well. But no, she has strep… Very Positive!    She is really doing remarkably well though. I would have never guessed that because other than not really wanting to eat much and a fever, she is very happy and content. Too bad the dog really wants to share her bowl of imaginary porridge. Lucy “ate” it all up before Khaliyah even had a chance. 😆  I sure do LOVE this silly girl. She always makes me laugh! Especially needing to sit on her books, instead of just reading them. She’s so crazy!
