10 Years, 8 Months...How many days in a row can I be sick?

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!
