Swine Flu

Well, it's official Marlee has the swine flu. She seemed to be doing a little better after she woke up this morning, but then after quiet time she was begging me for "medi's" and telling me she couldn't walk. She was very warm, so I took her to the walk in clinic. Her fever was 105.1 when we got there. I don't think I have EVER run a fever that high! She was falling asleep all over the place, in my lap, on the doctors table. Poor thing. We got home and gave her some drugs, and after about 30 minutes she came down and said she was "feelin' better!". Just in time for me to give her a hug and have her throw up all over me. Yum. She just threw up again, and now I am afraid with SUCH a high fever and her throwing up, she is going to get dehydrated. I have a feeling it is only a matter of time before Kenna and I are in the same position. I hope I am wrong. Wish me luck with tonight...and don't be expecting us in Utah this weekend...

Oh my GOSH. Yikes. Keep that poor little thing hydrated. I'm sure you're planning on it. I am so sorry! Good luck.

That is so sad! We will miss you so much, but you and your girls health is most important. I hope that you all get better soon, especially Marlee. We will for sure keep you in our prayers!

So sorry to hear that Marlee is sick! Key to staying hydrated: small sips frequently, and make sure she pees at least once every 8 hours :). I hope she gets feeling better soon and that the rest of you don't end up sick.
