Syd's 1st dance competition

Tuesday Morning Syd told me that she had slept "SO BAD mom !" and that her throat hurt.
Tuesday at 12:45 pm she called me from school to pick her up.   She had a fever of 101.
Wednesday her fever was 102 and she couldn't swallow without crying she also complained that her whole body hurt and that she felt as if someone was pushing her to the floor when she walked.   I took her to the doctor because of the high temps and super sore throat in case she had strep.  No go.  strep (-) flu (-)
Thursday....103.8.   Oh and she wasn't eating or drinking because her throat hurt.    I noticed her throat had some blisters on it.   I was CERTAIN she had strep.
Friday I took her back in because....PLEASE give me antibiotics...she has her one and only dance competition tomorrow night and she has a spotlight (solo) part in it.  
No go on the antibiotics.   Just a terrible virus.
Saturday morning her fever was down to 100.3 and she said her throat felt a lot better.

She had been down for now 5 days and I worried that she wouldn't have the strength to pull it off....but she did.   and she did it with style. with friends.  and with personality.  Love that kid.











After she performed we met her papa, grandma and uncle Chris for dinner at Golden Corral.    My 3 older kids love that they can serve themselves.  And they love that the dessert selections are included.
Papa treated so that was all the dessert I needed.  ;-)
When dinner was over we all came back to our house and played cards.   Syd, Spence and Papa played Rook and I think Syd may have won. ha ha
After the kids went to bed...we played aggravation and Crowns.   Lots of fun.   Thanks for having a competition Syd so that we could celebrate.  
Syd didn't go to bed until 9:30pm and her fever was back to 101.    You did a great job Boo.   I'm so proud of you.
