Every cloud has it's silver lining, right?
Between my husband and I taking turns being caregiver and going to work, we were able to find the blessings of caring for a very needy, clingy, uncomfortable, child with fevers from 101 to 103.7 over a period of six days:
1. Watching movies under a warm blanket
2. Bonding with Daddy
3. As a family, with so much time at home, we got the Christmas tree and lights up -- ready to decorate thanksgiving weekend -- which is our tradition.
4. When he had an appetite back on day 6, we had pancakes!
5. We enjoyed "puppet shows" when our sick little toddler had some energy: here's kessy, our pet one-eyed snowy owl.....
6. Although most of the day was spent like this (below), the small part of the day that he dozed off, our older son and i got to do "artwork" which actually ended up in the completion of all my scrapbooking projects, minus journaling!
7. The dentist recommended yummy stuff that'd the kids and adults would enjoy: here we have sorbets, dairy free frozen desserts, we also had soy yogurt, soy cocoa milk, popsicles, liquids, soups.
8. A bowl of soycream with rainbow sprinkles, soy cocoa milk, and strawberry sorbet soothes the mouth
9. A chance to pull out some toys that we haven't played with for awhile
10. A "care package" (only part of it is shown here) that lasts and lasts and is full of the sweets for the kids
