Snotty Noses, Fevers and Build A Bear

Ok so both Wayne and I work with sick people so it should not be a surprise that we get sick. That used to be fine, we always had some sort of cold or virus, but eventually after a few years we built up such a tolerance it was rare for one of us to get really sick. But now we have a new little lady, who runs to us as soon as we get home from work. We try to be very careful and wash and change before we have contact, but that used to be easier than it is now. She is waiting at the door for us now and follows us through the house screaming "hold me". We are both guilty of the occasional hug while still in scrubs. And sometime last week that bit us in the tush. Millie got sick. I blame us both and as always, Wayne blames himself. Either way Sunday Millie woke up with a 103 temp and nasty nose. She was rather pitiful. I also woke up feeling crummy. The Cardwells layed low all day Sunday. Millie and I napped frequently and drank plenty of liquids between cough syrup doses. However, by Monday Millie woke up feeling at least 80% better. I still felt yucky but I was so relieved she felt better, I was ready to celebrate. So we decided to do our original plans. We headed to Nashville. We ate at the aquarium restaurant. Millie loved the "FISH"! She felt it necessary to yell "FISH" at the top of her lungs every 4 minutes or so. It was actually kinda cute and embarrassing . Then we went to build a bear ( I had a coupon). Our family then grew to include DOGGY BRUSH, yes she named her DOGGY BRUSH, and everytime Wayne accidentally calls her Baby Brush Millie corrects him. She picked the dog, the clothes and the shoes. She really had a great time. Mommy enjoyed the 20.00 off. All in all we had a great day. As of today we are all feeling much better and continue to improve all the time.

See Ya Soon,
