Cabin Fever

I did manage to get Sophia an appointment today, but what I figured would happen, happened. Her fever finally broke at about 5am this morning. I had to give her a shower in the dark (well by light of nightlight). Why? Because I didn't want either of us to fully wake up. She didn't have any fever reducer by the time we went to the doctor and her temperature was 99.7, borderline.

Her mood and overall happiness has not changed however. She is stil whinny, won't eat much with out me coaxing, reasoning, or when all else fails threatening her. The doctor said she seems to have turned the corner. Of course she thought so, Sophia was bouncing around like a lunatic in the office. As soon as we got home? Laid on the couch and whined for things. I think she is playing me, or at least trying to. I am not easily played, she doesn't realize Aidan preceded her and I have had a lot of practice. She did have Sophia give a urine sample to check for infection. Thankfully they gave us a hat to catch the pee, I have horribly vivid memories of me holding a cup under Aidan BEGGING her to pee in it for 30mins+ about a year or so ago. I was worried I would have a repeat experience and I am glad I did not. I was lucky Rosy came over with Alan to stay with Delilah. I didn't want to interrupt her nap again for this BS. Plus I didn't want to deal with her if Sophia had had to give blood. In turn I watched Alan while she and Jason went to lunch.

The rest of my afternoon consisted of picking up kids, going to the commissary with 5 girls (I take V to girl scouts every other week and her mom takes mine the other weeks), then dropping them all off at girl scouts, went home, put the younger two to bed, begged my mom to come sit with them while I went to the parents meeting for Lilly's camping trip, came home, and fed them. Now I am resuming my search for unique Christmas gifts for the girls. I have found a few really cute things so far. I have been stuck at home, so I have been searching Etsy high and low. I hate feeling trapped and that's just how I have felt everyday since last Wednesday with the exception of Saturday.

This, too, shall pass.
