A Sick Weekend for All of Us....

Feeling under the weather for a couple of days really makes you realize how much you take being healthy for granted. These pictures were taken today where Ava is doing the best of all of us. Ava started having cold symptoms early in the week and seemed quite cranky and I was right behind her. On Thursday when I picked her up from Katie's, she told me she thought Ava was sounding worse with more congestion and coughing. We decided to take her to urgent care where we found out she had her first ear infection, both ears no less. I guess I feel fortunate that we have made it this long without fighting an ear infection. Friday morning we were supposed to leave for Brad's cousin's wedding in the cities, and Brad and I could hardly move. We just felt horrible. I took a shower and had to lie down afterwards because it wore me out. Ava was cranky and you could certainly tell she was not feeling well. We felt terrible missing the wedding as we were looking so forward to seeing everyone, but I don't think either one of us could have stayed awake to drive. We are thankful to be on the mend and doing better. I still have Christmas shopping to do that I was hoping to finish on our trip this weekend. Between the blizzard and being sick, I am not sure when that is going to get done! Oh well! Christmas will come whether I am ready or not!
