Sorry for the Delay

I picked Gert up Friday afternoon and she obviously wasn't feeling well. She's been running a 102-103 fever all weekend. I took her to the dr. this morning and she tested positive for flu AND strep. She's a very sick girl. They did a breathing treatment, and since her pulse ox was high enough, we didn't have to go to the hospital.

I'll post my birthday story as soon as I can. I'm so sorry to leave you hanging....

In the meantime, here's a pic of Gert doing her best Michael Phelps impersonation.

I hope your baby is better very soon! Be sure to finish all of the strep med even though she will feel better.

Oh...poor lil Gert! I hope she gets to feeling better really soon.

You had me rolling with your Michael Phelps comment....

Gina said...

Great... now she's inhaling, too? You certainly do have a felon in the making!

Get well soon, Gert.

Lizzy, wash your hands. A lot. With bleach.

Even not feeling good, she is much prettier than Michael Phelps. I might even come watch her compete when she feels better.
Feel better soon, baby girl.

Kim said...

Get better soon, Gert. I'm sorry you are feeling bad. I would be pretty cranky right now if I were you.

I just got the Michael Phelps comment...I am getting so old.

Angie's Spot said...

Poor Gert! I hope she feels better soon! And the Michael Phelps reference...well, pure genius. LOL!

Tam said...

OOOO that poor poor baby! I hope she starts to feel better soon! HUGS to that sweet child and that picture of the breathing treatment just rips my heart right out...uggg

Melissa said...

She using that hookah for purely medicinal purposes, right?

But seriously, I hope that sweetie gets to feeling better soon. I just got an email from a friend and she told me to rub the bottoms of my daughter's feet and put socks on her before bed. It's supposed to completely relieve that nasty cough. I'm going to be trying it tonight. I'll let you know the results...:)

Becky said...

Oh Gosh! Flu and Strep! That poor Baby! So glad you got her to the doc and she is on meds.

I'll be thinking of you guys!

Hey--I just popped over from Mrs. DeMiranda's blog. I CAN'T believe you wrote that about an innocent child! (And I can't wait to read more of your posts!)

Michelle said...

Now if you could just get her to excel at the swimming part, she might make mommy a millionaire!
