Poor Kerry spent most of her Christmas break sick. She was diagnosed with Flu A on Sunday and battled high fevers and was just generally miserable. We always spend Christmas Eve with Doug's family and Kerry loves the time spent with her cousins and by Christmas Eve she seemed to be on the mend so we went for it. These girls seem to be growing so fast!
She got a rainbow loom and Syd showed her some basic bracelet patterns. Kerry managed to enjoy herself for about 2 hours before she started crashing again. Thankfully we live only about ten minutes away.
Kerry still insisted on sprinkling the little packet of "reindeer food" that her teacher sent home in her backpack.
By Christmas Day she was really starting to feel bad again. She would not eat anything and at one point after she woke up from a nap and the Motrin had worn off her fever was up to 104.7! I nearly panicked but managed to get it down fast with a cold pack on her neck, a tepid sponge bath and more Motrin.
Thankfully she's feeling tons better now. Her appetite is back with a vengeance and she's playing and fever free!

Oh my word, that is so scary. It reminded me so much of our Christmas last year when Phebe fell sick on Boxing Day... my first taste of a child with a high fever. Yikes, I was beside myself. SO thrilled to hear Kerry is feeling better now, and you too Gin. It's been a tough couple of weeks around your house. It sure makes you thankful that everyone is healthy again... and you are safe, after that terrible accident.
Here's hoping for a great 2014. Happy New Year, my friend.
Poor baby! I hope she's feeling better now. Happy New Year!
