Quarantine week 21: Ruby gets sick

 For the week of 8/4-8/10

Ruby started having a headache again on Tuesday morning and then got a low grade fever. We got her in for a COVID test right away because my parents were coming up in a week, and it takes that long to get results right now. Poor thing, two COVID tests. She did great though.

Sick Sissy.
My dahlias started to bloom! They're just lovely.
Ruby felt good on and off for a few days. We got these fun play dough sets in the mail for free (not quite sure how, I think I entered an Instagram contest maybe?), and the kids had lots of fun with them.
Thank goodness Phoenix keeps us occupied.
Reid built all of these pop bead monster robots. Some are good guys, some are bad guys.
By Friday, she really started not feeling well. She said it hurt a little bit when she peed, so I called the doctor to get a urine test. She went in and gave the sample on Friday morning and they gave her antibiotics to take just in case anything got worse. Well, by Friday afternoon, her temp was up to 103.9! They said to start the antibiotics right away, even though her initial urine test did not show that she had an infection. We started those, and she was a lot better by Saturday evening (after another few fever spikes). By Sunday she was back to normal! The urine culture came back on Monday, and it was positive for e. coli. So I'm really glad we got the medication started on Friday and didn't have to wait over the weekend. Her COVID came back negative on Monday as well. The weird thing is that my dad also had a UTI at the same time from the same bacteria. So glad she is better. Dad has had some other complications unfortunately, but hopefully he's past the worst of it.
Andy took the boys out on a walk, and they got some fun leaves and things. Then they played with the air conditioner fan with them.
Miles likes to try to get himself dressed... those are Reid's underwear on backwards, and he found a size too small of his pants in the bottom drawer and put those on backwards as well. Hahaha!
Evening story time. The big kids and I have been reading all of the Narnia books, we finished the Silver Chair this week. It has been so fun!
Summer afternoons outside are the best.
And we are to this stage of the COVID quarantine... sit in a pool in the back yard with no water doing nothing at all.
