Dance rehersals and dog day Sunday
Oh my goodness today was a big day!
Last night Ivy took a backwards slide and decided she would cry all night. I don’t know for sure what was going on but by the morning, her temperature was through the roof again. Come daybreak though she was brighter and I thought the worst had passed.
Sadly I was wrong.
The girls had to be in Newcastle for their full dress rehersal of their dance concert this morning. Early. I found out about this on Friday night when Ivy and I came home from the hospital. I don’t know why I forgot… stupid! Vague headed me.
To say I was in a panic was an understatment. I hadn’t paid for costumes, I had to do full make up for three girls and buns as well.
Anywaaaaaaay.
We made our way into town and Noah was his usual happy, easy going self but Ivy…oh, Ivy! She cried and asked to be picked up and when we picked her up she cried some more. She scowled at anyone who came anywhere near her and smacked out at the other children. She was pale and her nose was running terribly.
We had planned to spend the day in Newcastle but Ivy was so very unwell we decided to go home.
She slept on the way home but woke in an even worse mood.
Poor baby.
She just could not tell us what was wrong. Despite panadol she followed David and I around, everytime we put her down (for a toilet break, to hang out school uniforms, to start preparing dinner) saying … ‘it hurts’. Even taking her outside (her treasured outside) just didn’t cut it today.
I felt so sad that there was nothing that I could do to make it better for her.
David left to pick up the girls and that is when Ivy really lost it.
It is mentally and emotionally exhausting when she is sick and I would love to just sit and cuddle her all day but I have Noah and the other kids to think about too. Maybe the paediatrician was right. Maybe we should have stayed in the hospital for an extra couple of days.
You’ll all be pleased to know that she is tucked up in bed asleep now, medicated with pain relief, antibiotics and chest rub.
Tomorrow will be a better day.
It has to be.
Poor baby. Poor Mummy! (((((Tiff)))))
