Macy's First Trip to the ER

So Sunday morning Macy woke up with a fever, so we stayed home from church! I hate to say it, but in a way I was happy she was sick. (I'm terrible.) She cuddled with me all day... I've never gotten that from her. It felt so good for her to lay down with me and let me hold her. That night we put her to bed and her temp was about 102 degrees. A few hours later she woke up and it was 104.5. Ri called his parents and they told us we should bring her to the ER. What fun! So we packed up our poor, sick girl and left. Macy was hilarious. One look at the nurse and she started to cry. He took her temp and she started screaming, and kicking, and threw a big tantrum. She continued that for the rest of the night. When the resident Doc came in she started to scream again and she said, "Oh, I guess that's what the nurse meant when he wrote, 'Careful, feisty girl who doesn't want to be touched. Flipped a 180...'" Yep, that's my sweet little girl!
Anyway, they told us it was a viral infection and she should be over it within three days. The next day I put her in the bath, laid her down on the bed and put her clothes on. She fell asleep on the bed, which NEVER EVER happens. I crawled up next to her and she cuddled with me... so cute!  It's now Wednesday, and she seems to be over it, thank goodness! However, it was kind of nice to have a mellow child for a few days who sat still when I held her! So that's the exciting story of our trip to the ER. :)

Easter fun!

I LOVE Easter! Not for the bunny, although Carmel Cadbury eggs are the BEST and I can't stop eating the Sweet-tart jelly beans, but it is a wonderful time to reflect on Christ and what He did! There is something about the weather warming up and spring that make me so happy and grateful for life! I did some yard work yesterday with Macy (DOMINATED the flower bed- that thing is a monster) and it was such a wonderful, quiet time to reflect on life.

We spent some time with friends yesterday and did a little Easter egg hunt for the kiddies. Macy ate so many jelly beans, I think it made her sick. (Literally, late last night she got a fever and we had to stay home from church today.) Poor girl.
