Missing the party

Bela was due to attend a friend's birthday today. She was ready to shower and dress but said she was dizzy and can't breathe out of her nose. Told her I didn't think it was fair to go and make the other kids sick. She asked what we were going to do with the present, "I guess you can keep it". She said "Ok it's fine I don't go then, it's not nice to make people sick". (Since we homeschool she only see's this particular friend at parties 1-2 times a year)

I think keeping the present helped her feel better about missing the party. It was a gymnastics party and she would have had to sit it out since she's dizzy. She took the present to the couch, popped in a movie and is resting for the day.

Gave her a dose of "duck butt" (proper name oscillococcinum) and Elderberry syrup. Fingers crossed she feels better. This week was her Spring Break but she's been fighting something all week since returning from a visit with her Dad. She didn't have to do school but we also couldn't do much out and about. Thank God Summer is almost here.
