Mullinnix Family Blog: Illness!

I haven't posted anything for a couple of days because Eli has been really sick. This was Eli's first major illness. He's been running a fever since Tuesday afternoon. I took him to the Dr. on Wednesday morning and he got his first throat culture done. Thank goodness it wasn't Strep and just a virus. But still my little boy has been miserable! His fever kept coming back and every morning it was higher then the last morning. The fever finally broke Friday morning as my sweet baby was asleep in my arms.

This morning I woke up in the middle of the night feeling terrible and running a fever. I knew it was just a matter of time before I got sick too! But Thomas being the sweet and wonderful husband/father is taking care of the boy today and his sick wife. Eli is still sick even though you wouldn't know it by looking at him. His voice is raspy and he was running a 99 degree fever when he got up. He aslo has a fountain for a nose. He so badly wants wants to get out of the house, the poor boy has been confined to the house since Tuesday afternoon and he is so use to going somewhere almost everyday.

I think it's very ironic that Eli wold chose this weekend to get sick since we had such a fun busy weekend scheduled! Friday Eli was going to get to go to his first Kids Night Out at the church. Then today he had 2 birthday parties to go to. One was a Gymboree party that he would just have so much fun at. Oh well there will always be other fun things to do on other weekends!
