Sick Girl / Father's Day

The last couple of days Hannah often complained about being "so tired". Being off track and staying up longer, we chalked her being tired to that and perhaps a growth spurt. But when we were at a birthday party last night, we noticed she was burning up with a fever and her glands that were a little swollen the day before, were now even more so.

Unfortunately we had to cancel the Father's Day BBQ we were going to have in our backyard today with Gramma and Papa and Uncle Robbie and Auntie and the cousins. Since we're all going camping at the end of next week, we need to take caution not to spread the "love".

After talking to someone at church, Steven came home suggesting that she might have tonsillitis. So we researched it on the internet and sure enough, she has all the symptoms for tonsillitis. We're thinking that when Steven didn't feel good about 3 weeks ago, he too had tonsillitis because he also had all the symptoms. We're being very careful that Rachel doesn't drink out of Hannah's cups or use her utensils, in hopes she doesn't get it.

We spent Father's Day hanging out and Hannah resting. We grilled the chicken I had planned for the BBQ (which was sooo good!) and we ended the day with a trip to Dairy Queen because Hannah said it would make her throat feel good. But in fact it was so cold, it made her throat hurt. Hannah acts perfectly normal when she's got Motrin or Tylenol in her system. So we've been trying to stay on top of that. She has her Karate belt ceremony tomorrow night that we'll go to if her fever is gone and she's feeling up to it.
