last weekend tacey and riggins came down with a fever right after we went swimming. riggs slept his fever off tacey just seemed to get sicker. she said her head and throat hurt and she had some nausea. it was no fun and lasted about 2 days.
this weekend right when we got home from burley bry and riggs both had super high fevers and were complaining about all the same things tacey was earlier. although i was grateful we were home while the girls were sick i was also super bummed because rhett had to leave me for a couple of days to take the scouts out on a camp trip. it has honestly been the longest few days! a few of my friends and family had had whatever this little bug is and it lasted 2 days for all of them. and it did only last 2 days for riggs and tacey. but poor brylee. anytime this little one gets sick it hits her so hard. she was by far the sickest. by the third day of her not eating or drinking i was starting to panic a little thinking i was going to need to take her in to the hospital to get rehydrated. she had been so weak we would have to help her sit up or carry her. luckily, her daddy came to the rescue last night and gave her a blessing. which is the whole reason i am writing this post. i want bry to look back and remember what a gift her dad's blessing have been to her. lots of neat things were promised to her that i will need to put in her personal journal later, but she was also promised she would heal and feel better.
this morning bry came bouncing up the stairs and said, 'my blessing worked!' and then she ate a nice big bowl of cereal.
i just felt the need to write about my brybry and say how proud i am of her and her faith. and also how tough she is. this girl is a rockstar.
tomorrow is a school night so today kind of officially feels like our last day of summer. the whole time the kids were sick we were cooped up in the house recovering and the weather was beautiful and amazing. today it is super windy and kind of chilly actually. haha, go figure. that isn't stopping the kids right now though. they are out on an 'adventure' in the backyard (wearing jackets) with books, blankets, and snacks. after the week we just had i can't even tell you how happy i am to see my kids eating and full of energy!!!
