More to come...
Our team had a soccer game and a soccer practice and little did I know that was the last ones I would really go to this season. Our family (minus Ellie) went to Alex's birthday party. We had a day off from school and mom still had to go. It was on a Monday, so Dad was home.
I didn't feel well at school one day, but had no fever so I had to stay. I ended up getting a fever at night. Dad and Dom took turns staying home with me. My fever lasted for 8 days! No strep, no flu, no Covid, no pneumonia-just some virus. I laid on the couch the whole time and read and watched Harry Potter. I didn't feel like doing anything.
I thought I was feeling better the day I was supposed to go to Ellie's game in Union and then spend 4 my 4 days with Grandma Kathy. I got to the game and got very chilled and laid on the bleachers with my blanket. I decided to stay with Grandma Kathy, but other than playing cards and some screen time with my friends, I didn't feel like doing much. It was even a struggle to go to Orange Leaf!
Mom picked me up on Saturday morning and I had been fever free for about 24 hours. I was determined to go to my soccer game. The coach even put me in for a while, but I got to exhausted, I came out. I was well enough to go to Savannah's birthday party at the Grandma's Place break out room. It was a lot of fun hanging out with my friends that I hadn't seen in over a week.
I was able to go back to school and was Star of the Week in my class. Mom helped me make a poster with pictures of my favorite things and we brought in donuts one day. I was able to go to soccer practice and did some giggling. I was so impressed when our coach did a handspring off the soccer ball! He said he would do it again on Saturday if we won. Unfortunately, I got sick again and wasn't able to go to the game. We also won, so he never did the handspring.
On Friday, I had some weird white spots in the back of my throat so mom made an appointment to get it checked out. I didn't have a fever that morning or when I got there. They swabbed my nose and throat and it turns out, I had the flu! Three hours later, my temperature was 104.7! I was so tired of being sick and laying around, but that's all I could do for a while. I thought I was better and went to Savannah's birthday pumpkin carving party, but came back home with another fever and stayed home with Dad. I went back to school and have slowly gained my energy back. I was able to have Luna over after school on Friday and spend the night, but that's about all I could do. I am really hoping to get more energy soon!
