FLU SEASON

I tell you, when it rains at our house it POURS! With all that we have gone through this season with the snow, wind and rain and now flooding with the main highways and passes leading into Washington closed, family coming for the holidays, birthday parties me thinks Mimi is coming down with the virus. This morning I took her to see the MD for another reason (red spots on her back and tummy) no fever though. The doctor could not say exactly what it is since she has had all of her necessary immunization such as chicken pox and measles. He gave me some lame answer as that it might be something called fleck-u-litis or some such silly thing. I think he did not really know what it is and did not want to admit so as too not hurt his ego any. Mimi still had the energy as usual, eats like a chow hound. She is now 44 inches tall and 40.5 lbs. So we came home, had lunch and again Blake and Zoe went to school with us. After coming home from school she went up to bathe but did not take her usual one hour bath which should have given me a clue. We were to go to Sara's house this evening but cancelled it because when Mimi came downstairs in her pj's (another clue). Then the biggest clue of all came when I had her lie down for a while and SHE DID NOT FIGHT ME ON THIS SUBJECT! Biggest clue of all!!! Usually she will say "I'M NOT TIRED!!!" I usually kiss her on the forehead to see how warm she is and she was pretty warm so she downed some St. Joseph's aspirin along with some Sprite. Just now checked her temperature and it is 97. We'll have to see what happens tomorrow as she and dad are supposed to go up to Snoqualmie for some skiing. We'll have to see about that.
