Last Friday Anna came down with a sudden fever. The fever lasted until Saturday night and then she came down with a sore throat. Sunday afternoon Anna kept telling me her mouth hurt. We looked down her throat and found it red and swollen and covered with puss pockets! Monday, the doctor looked at her and she had nothing serious except a virus! Yes, folks, we're dealing with the worse kind of culprit ever, one that attacks with a vengeance, and has no mercy!
All Anna did for 5 days was lay on her favorite pillow with her blankets, watch too many movies, and she didn't eat a thing and barely drank anything too! Let's not forget all the crying and whining and total misery she was in and those around her! This virus was a mean one !
In this picture she told me her ears were cold and she wanted me to cover them up with her blanket. She would be freezing cold but her body was burning up with fever!
This look explains it all!!!
So, to all of you parents, if your children get a virus, we give you our greatest sympathies, it is miserable! But please remember when your children are sick, keep them away from the healthy ones...spare them and their parents....even if your child is feeling better with that dose of Motrin, fever is gone, they want to play...just stay at home (they're probably still contagious!), grit your teeth and bare the pain, and help your kids get better....we can all do our best to keep from helping these viruses from spreading!

Poor baby girl. Nothing is worse than a sick kid. I feel for you. Glad she's feeling better.
