olive's sick week

on sunday as we were about to head out the door to church

olive started crying that she couldn't go because her head hurt too bad

so henry and i stayed home with her

he was pretty mad to be left behind but enjoyed his morning nap after i took this picture

 olive rested most of the day and when we finally found the thermometer

we realized she had a temp of 102.8

and it has lasted, and lasted and lasted

 monday she got up and got dressed for school

but she still had a fever so we stayed home and played

the fever hasn't really been bringing her down, she's still playing and having fun
i think henry and eleanor have enjoyed having her home to play with

 i've been trying to get her to rest when she needs it but it hasn't happened much

 we went to the doctor a couple days ago and they said it's a virus

that it could possibly be hand, food and mouth because it's really rampant right now

but to just rest and wait for the fever to go away

thank goodness that i have someone (or a few of them) to keep me busy this week

henry loves my makeup...

pretty jumping ballerina

my dig dig digger

building with jenga blocks

showing me her sweet new dance

throwing a fit because she got in trouble for hitting olive in the eye with a purse repeatedly

i'm not going to say this has been my favorite week
it's thursday and olive hasn't gone to school once
which is fine, she's nice to have at home
but we have no structure
and henry and eleanor have been exceptionally busy this week
i'm excited for olive to get healthy
she seems to be getting worse before she gets better
thursday her fever was persistent but she and eleanor had a lot of fun playing

by this morning her fever was finally gone!
she got to go to school for the first (and only) time this week
she is finally over it and i couldn't be happier
