A case of the sillies!

So, with summer, came the summer viruses. Ugh. Lily got the ADENOVIRUS (I think I'm spelling that correctly). It's a virus that causes a variety of symptoms. For Lily, she had a fever for 15 days, a rash and red eyes. On top of that, she got a staph infection in her nose. It was no fun at all. Luckily, nobody else in our family got sick. However, 15 days at home waiting for others to get sick was no fun at all and it was a big chunk of our summer. We had to miss 3 birthday parties :(. Lily's good friend Ella Garber was one of the parties we had to miss. Ella's mom was so sweet to drop off at our house the party favors that she was passing out at Ella's party. In these bags, were sheets of tattoos! Lily and Madeline entertained themselves for hours putting on all of the tattoos. It was great fun and exactly the kind of distraction we needed in the middle of all of our sick days.

Lily is fine now and the virus has completed running its course. We were of course concerned that this was related to her illness this spring, but it was not.
