Sick Girl

Kaylee woke up with a 102.5 degree fever the morning we were supposed to be driving back to Iowa for Easter Break. After a trip to the doctor and with antibiotics in hand, I loaded the kids up and began driving to Iowa. We made it an hour and twenty minutes when a bathroom break was requested. It was at this point that I made the decision to turn around and drive back to Michigan. Poor Kaylee looked horrible. She wasn't even able to keep up with us while walking from the car to the bathroom. It was a good thing we turned around because Kaylee's high fever lasted for 3 days and didn't go away completely for 6 days. It ended up being a really bizarre virus. She had an upset tummy and fever blisters. Her mouth was so sore. She had 5 blisters on her lip and 3 on her tongue. It was very strange and sad.

Despite Kaylee's illness we had a nice Easter together as a family. We attended a Good Friday performance of The Last Supper in which the disciples voiced their insecurities about whether or not they would be the one who would betray Jesus. They each ended their monologue with a rhetorical question of "Is It I, Is It I"? Of course the sanctuary was silent, when Kianna decided to answer their question out loud and said "NO". She got quite a few giggles from the congregation and definitely lightened the mood.

We also had a good time decorating Easter eggs and looking outside for the 106 eggs Trevor hid for the kids. The girls had a blast looking for the eggs and Trace had fun too. He was so cute picking up the eggs and putting them into his basket. He is getting to be such a big boy! We made some fun memories that weekend.
