I was really expecting a phone call this morning that school was cancelled again because the roads are still pretty slick. But, no call. So I got up and got ready for work. About 7, Addy's nurse texted me that her car wouldn't start and she wasn't sure when she would make it to my house. Addy usually goes to school on Mondays but she wasn't feeling well all weekend so I wasn't going to send her. So I let Scott know that we needed to make arrangements this morning, one of us was going to be late to work. Addy woke up and once again had a fever. So I decided I would be the one late, Addy was definitely going into the Ped this morning. So I start Addy's feed, told Jake that I don't want him to ride the bus to school, I was going to take him since the roads were slick still. As we continue getting everyone ready the bus starts up the hill (the same hill I slid down on Friday), low and behold she can't get up the hill, it's still a solid sheet of ice, so glad I didn't let him get on! Fortunately help came and they were able to get the bus up the hill. We live in a very rural area and this was a paved road, I can only imagine what the buses dealt with on the gravel roads! Scott decided he would take the boys to school so off they went. I called and got Addy into the doc at 10 so we didn't have to rush to Springfield. Miss Kim was able to get a new battery installed so I even made it to work for a few hours. We'll have school tomorrow but we have another storm coming tomorrow night so the rest of the week is looking iffy!
In the waiting room waiting to see the doc a mom and dad came in with the most adorable little 15 month old girl named Emily. She happens to be sporting that little something extra too!! She was sooo cute! Her dad gave me their business card so we could chat sometime. I emailed the mommy and hope that we can strike up a nice friendship! Dr. M checked Miss Addy out head to toe. She has my virus. Grr (sorta) I'm very thankful that she doesn't have an ear infection, I really did want to avoid antibiotics (not wanting c-diff again). She's been pushing on her ears all weekend so I was surprised they weren't infected, just some fluid. He wanted me to have Addy drink this tonight before bed:
Well, since she doesn't drink a whole lot by mouth I figured it would be a challenge. Naturally it was but she did take in quite a bit, not a surprise that she loved the tart lemon!
So after dinner she got all cleaned up, a nice warm lotion massage and warm footie jammies (so, not her favorite!). Hoping she has a better night and can get some rest, I know she feels yucky, even though she is still her happy little self!

Addy is beyond cute and I always love looking at her pictures.
I hope she gets over her "gunky-ness" quickly. That is never any fun.
Feel better sweet girl.So proud of you for drinking up your little concoction... hoping it helps you sleep!
Love from California.
Oh, I love those butterfly jammies! I really hope I can get to Cali, our taxes may take a while though because if you have the adoption credit, you have to mail it in. Grrr!
Love the last picture! We use honey and lemon all the time and I think it works pretty good at cutting down on the coughing, I hope it works for you so that everyone can get a good night's sleep!
That sounded like a great morning(insert sarcasm). at least you met a potential friend at the docs. Feel better princess!
