Happy 4th Of July

 Emily got sick right around the 4th.  She ran a fever for 4 days total which is very unlike her.  She felt a little better on the 4th so we put on her 4th of July dress and celebrated a bit!

She designed her own firework for the 4th!

The next day we were invited to a 4th of July cookout (on the 5th).  Emily wasn't running a fever and she felt much better.  Unfortunately about two hours into the cookout her temp. spiked again.  We gave her some medicine and stuck it out for the fireworks.  I did manage to snap a picture of the party girl before she started feeling bad.

Here she is a little later wrapped in a blanket, eating a popsicle, waiting for the medicine to kick in.  I felt bad that she was there with a fever but by the time the fever hit we had already exposed everyone and she really wanted to see the fireworks so we decided to stay one more hour.

Thankfully, after resting for a few days, she is much better.
