Lazy Sunday & A Trip to the Doctor

Yesterday was an extremely lazy Sunday.  We had all intentions of going to church and just did not make it.  By the time we got up and around and finished breakfast it was already 10:10 a.m. Which meant we had only 5 minutes to get everyone dressed ourselves included and get out the door.  That was not happening!

So we lounged around in our pajamas most the day.  I was extremely tired from my busy week.  It was pretty nice.  We got a cardboard house out of the attic that the kids had not played with in a very long time. They had a blast playing in it and decorating it. 

Ethan did not nap, but Gracyn napped for 3 hours before we finally woke her up.  When we woke her she had a fever and complained that her "forehead hurt".  The fever was low and she had no other symptoms.

 At 2:30 a.m. she woke up and was burning up.  Temp was 102.7 :-(  We gave her medicine and took her in our bed.  She asked for her bunny ice pack and we put it on her head.  We also gave her some ice water.  After about an hour her fever dropped enough that she was able to get back to sleep.

So, this morning I took her to the doctor.  Still her only symptoms were a fever and her "forehead hurt".  But at breakfast I discovered that her throat was red and she didn't want to eat much.  Strep culture was negative and it turns out she has an ear infection.  We got some antibiotics so hopefully she will feel better really quickly.  I'm hoping that since it was an ear infection everyone else stays well!!
