UGH! Rachel's got another fever. And the way her fevers have been going, it'll likely hang on awhile. Just at the start of the Christmas season when I'm planning lots of fun things....
Tonight she had to miss her second Girl Scout meeting. (I went through the meeting with her when I got home so she could still earn her Daisy petal for the night! But I was so sad going without her.)
Tomorrow she'll miss school and she's so sad that she won't get to learn more about the five senses, which they started talking about today. She started crying when she was telling me about it, because she doesn't want to miss it.
I just realized that she'll also miss her gymnastics class tomorrow afternoon, which she loves. We haven't discussed this yet, and I know when I tell her she can't go she'll burst into tears. Makes me sad just thinking about having to tell her.
Sunday she's supposed to be in the Christmas parade with the Girl Scouts, and even though it's only Monday and it's nearly a week away, I'm guessing the odds aren't really in her favor that she'll get to go. Her fevers tend to go away and come back every afternoon/evening for quite awhile.
So far there aren't really any other symptoms, except the fever brings on a headache and shivering. So I don't know what's causing it, since she doesn't have any other complaints.
It's never ending.....
BUMMER! This sounds like what we had last year. *Perhaps* an unusual Christmas gift will arrive sometime this week or next and help make things bearable...I sure hope so!
ReplyDeleteI'm so sorry - poor Rachel! We missed her at the meeting. I hate it when they have a fever and have to miss things, especially when they are so sad about them. Boo.
ReplyDeleteReally praying that this one is short lived.
