Three days of temps and still escalating, so I put in a call to the doctor ... who set me up with a 9:30AM appointment. We went in and the doctor told me that she has a "summer virus". It should pass on its own, but until then I need to basically keep her indoors and away from other people. She is contageous until the fever breaks, and can't go around others until her fever has been gone for a day or two. So we are trapped in the house, and missing her 2nd to last Wiggleworms class today (she missed her last swimming class this past Sunday).Brooke's throat is all red and irritated, and the doctor suggested that I give her cold pudding, ice-cream and pureed bananas. I don't have any of it in the store and so I stopped at the store and picked up some vanilla ice cream. I felt a bit of sorrow over the idea of giving her ice-cream. We don't give her any sort of junk food or sweets, and I thought her first ice-cream would likely be at her 1st birthday. But then I thought about my poor, sad, sick girl ... and how a little girl that loves to eat hasn't eaten anything in days. The poor girl deserves something special, actually, right now she deserves anything she wants!
Since it was going to be her first treat, I thought I would put it on video to save the moment. There was a lot of crying and she was not a happy girl. She didnt like the ice cream, didnt like me :) We decided in the end we wouldnt post it, it was just a bit too sad.
