well sort of....
You know how it is after vacation....you had a great time, but you miss your bed, your pets, and of course, your children! But, then you look at the laundry piles that make Mt. Everest seem like a mole hill, the dust bunnies that have been very busy multiplying, and the toilets (do you ever wonder why toilets get dirty when no one is using them?) and you wish you had stayed just one more day or one more week!
So we are home and Kiera has picked up every virus known to man. It started two weeks ago with her vomiting in the car (Oh yes, that is great Sunday fun!) and then the diarrhea started. Well, she only vomited once, but the diarrhea continued and five days later she developed quite a cough. She didn't seem that sick, so we went to Ft. Lauderdale, only to hear she now had a new symptom....FEVER! So this past week she had high fevers, a small cough, and diarrhea. I took her to the Dr. on Thursday and he said she had two viral infections back to back and they will run their course. Then that afternoon, she slept for three hours, was very cranky and woke up that night with a 103 fever. The next morning she was lethargic. I got very worried, so I took her back. Turns out she has gingivitis and was put on an antibiotic. Then that night she continued with the fever and Saturday she broke out in a nice little rash all over her nose, under her eyes, and all over her trunk. My suspicions are roseola. I don't know about gingivitis, but she seems to have a little discomfort in her mouth, so maybe. So, as you may have guessed, she is NOT sleeping well and is an extreme leg leech! I hope she kicks all these horrible viruses and we can really enjoy being home!
