sick

The last few days, and nights, have been long ones. I noticed Evelyn was more tired than usual and a bit grumpy last Wednesday but thought it was due to her teething. Thursday evening when sneezed every five minutes I realized she was getting sick. She had a fever. I gave her infant tylenol. Then she became congested. Her fever went to 101.9 on Friday night. I gave her more tylenol.I was wishing I had taken her to the doctor that day. Her congestion was getting worse and she started to cough down deep from in her chest. Ryan gave her a blessing and got some Vick's baby rub and a vaporizer from CVS. The next morning her fever was gone! We stayed home from the boat parade Saturday night and from church just to be safe. Her voice is coming back now, but she's still got a bit of congestion and a cough. She's definitely getting better though. That's the most worried we've been about her sine she was a newborn. Today we went for a walk to get the mail. It was the first time she rode in the actual stroller instead of the car seat set on it, and the first time we had been out of the house since Thursday. She can almost sit up on her own now.


I snapped a sot of this lovely fiberglass boat that Ryan brought home from work last week too. He's been working at Horse Mesa Dam for a few months and said some other guys who work up there found it a couple years ago. He asked if he could have it, and since the price was right he brought it home. It needs a few repairs, but he hopes to have it fixed by next summer.
