On the road to recovery...

My little redhead has been very sick all weekend. She had a fever on and off for about a week but no other symptoms, so I didn't worry very much. On Friday, her fever shot up and wiped her out for the rest of the weekend. After a 103.6 degree peak and 3 1/2 hours in the Urgent Care on Saturday, we figured out that she had a severe urinary tract infection. She was completely lethargic and nothing we did would cool her body off. She just wasn't herself... she literally did not move for 3 days straight. It has taken over 2 days to get her rehydrated and her fever somewhat under control and now we're hopefully on the road to a complete recovery. We're thankful that every time we thought we should head out the door to the ER, things turned around a little bit. Savannah has been such a good sister to Vanessa despite being locked up in the house without very much attention. Hopefully Vanessa will be back to smiling soon!
On a happier note... I just had to share these pictures because they crack me up. The other day I got 2 sticks of cheese out of the fridge for the girls to eat. While I was opening Savannah's cheese, Vanessa got a hold of the other one that still had the plastic on it. Apparently she was hungry!
