First Trip to Emergency Room

Staying home from daycare on Friday with her Puppies cuddling in close

Not so sure about eating, and not feeling well

Little Olivia has her first Big Bad Virus... which sent us to the ER Friday night when I was worried that she was having trouble breathing.  Her temperature spiked to 103.4 while we were in the hospital and they gave her Ibuprofen and Tylenol at the same time.  Then she had a "breathing treatment" aka albuterol and oxygen.  A half hour after the "treatment" she was MUCH better and smiling all over.  I think by that time her temperature had dropped as well.  She was 99.8 degrees when we were discharged.  Scary night!  Kevin was on travel so it was just me and the girls.  I'm not super impressed by Washington Hospital ER, but they did take care of Olivia... eventually.

High on Albuterol with a lowered temp at 2:30 am in the ER!  Little trickster! 

Sleeping in on Sat after our late night (home at 4am)

Last night her temperature spiked above 103 again, after being around 99 most of the day.  At least this time Kevin was home to help with giving her the inhaler, her ibuprofen and generally cooling her down and soothing her.  Olivia has been fussy from not feeling well, poor thing.

Feeling much better!!!  But Sat night still had a Big Bad Fever. :(

Just cute -with the crab on her butt

Today she's still been not herself.  Her temperature started climbing around 4pm and I gave her ibuprofen again.  She's been having diarrhea a little and not eating/drinking much.  Tomorrow she'll stay home from daycare and I'm hoping she'll be back there on Tuesday.  With any luck she'll be all smiles tomorrow!  Kevin leaves for LA again and will be gone Monday through Monday this time.

While Kevin was gone, Steve and Patti came over for a little while - we basically finished the crown moulding and baseboards in Olivia's room - very exciting!  Now Kevin just needs to paint the window casing.  He's "forbidden" me from doing it.  So, during this trip I hope to finish caulking and filling the nail holes in the guest bedroom crown and maybe the hallways.  Sure would be nice to have that all done!

But, it's going to be a long week.  My first week back FULL TIME at work, and Kevin on travel... and the dog-walker not available, and Olivia sick.  No biggie, just another week. :)  I had hoped to have some time to myself today and to get a few things done, but with Olivia not feeling well, and the Super Bowl (or Dud Bowl) on TV, I had to sit with Olivia a fair amount.  Fortunately, I was able to cook my food for the week.

Sleepy sleep time! :)  It RAINED today!!!  Not nearly enough, but at least it's something in this terrible drought!   And, I'm in drought-mode, figuring out all sorts of ways to conserve water.  I also managed to do some weeding during the weekend when Steve and Patti were here.

Nighty Night.  Pics to be added!
