When people get sick at our house Olivia always gets it the worst. I got sick first, then Annie, then Isaac hit the pillow and two days ago - Olivia, yep, highest fever, reddest cheeks, sorest mouth, throw ups - everything.....officially the most sick. We had all been battling without the doctor for a week or so but Tuesday- because Olivia looked dreadful - I took the "whole shabang" in. "Everyone has strep throat", the doctor announces. Isaac and Annie immediately opted for the 10 days of pink stuff - but Olivia said, true to form again - I"ll take the shot, I don't want to miss my program". So she "bared" all and took the nice thick antiobiotic shot. OUch!
Today was program day......she didn't look even "kind of" better........but she just had to go. So we put her in the shower, put her cute red shirt and santa hat on and drove her up to school. She tried to smile....just a little. The whole 4th grade played their recorders - at least 10 cute Christmas songs, recited "The Night Before Christmas", sang some more songs, danced the Virginia Reel, and then Olivia said her part, She did it! - even though she could hardly move her mouth. Then we came home and tucked her into bed until 2:00 that afternoon, when I got her up and drove her to school a second time - where she recorded, sang, and danced for the parent performance. Yes, She did it again!
That's my Olivia............a real "Super" Christmas "Trooper"!
Get Well Soon.
