Well, the 100 degree fever went up to 103.2… So we took a trip to
Memorial Southeast Emergency Room last night. Carissa liked having her
temperature taken, her new bracelets, and her tummy photographed (x-
rays).
She did NOT like getting blood drawn. Pa played 'little piggy' with
her tootsies, and the Motrin eventually kicked in. This morning she is
feeling MUCH better, and she told me that she liked the hospital.
Daddy has to beg to differ though. It is an awful experience as a
parent to have to visit the ER.
This is not a good picture. 🙁
Well, it's not good that she's in a hospital bed, but I have to admit that Pa sure knows how to add a little comfort.
Carissa and Pa played 'little piggies' about 4 bazillion times. The piggy went from eating corn beef to eating hot dogs and popcorn and watching Care Bears and Peter Pan. But he always went wee wee wee all the way home. Which is what we eventually did from the hospital…
I sure wish I would have checked my computer earlier today!!!!! I am so sorry that Carissa has been sick. I'll call tomorrow to check on her. Give her a hug from Grandma Ronnie.
