Poor Maddie

 This has been a rough year for the flu and our family was not spared.  Jacee threw up a week ago Sunday, but was feeling much better the next day.  She has always been our most healthy child and usually doesn't catch every thing that comes around.  And, true to form, she got over it quite quickly.

Unfortunately, Maddie was next.  We were not so lucky with her.  She threw up everyday for five days.  The first day was pretty rough, she kept missing the bucket and would throw up on my bed, in the van, and elsewhere.  After that, she got the hang of it and we filled quite a few "throw up buckets".  She mostly slept and watched tv.  Poor little girl.  She was in PJs for six days straight.

 Here is Jackson photo bombing my pic.  I thought it was so cute how Pouncer was snuggled up to Maddie.  Whenever someone is not feeling well, Pouncer seems to sense that.  She will seek them out and sleep with them.  It's really quite tender.

Below is Maddie on day two.  Really the worst of all the days.  Fever, stomach ache and lot of throw up.  I felt so bad for her.  Look at her little rosy cheeks.

On Thursday, she finally felt good enough to get up and get dressed and to fix her hair.  I still didn't send her to school because of cough and sniffles, but it sure was great to see her darling smile again!

I sent her to school today and was kinda sad!  Not that she was feeling better, but we had a week where we were together either snuggling on the couch or in my bed the entire day.

She is up to her usual silly self today and up to teasing her brother and sister.  Glad she is feeling better!
