This is what I cam home to yesterday afternoon. What the photo doesn't show very clearly is that Charlotte is very orange around the mouth from the flavouring of the twisties she was helping her dad eat.
And this is a picture of Charlotte and Andrew sleeping last Friday morning after a long night of coughing.
Charlotte's virus turned into Croup on Thursday night. She had an ok sleep on Thursday night, but by Friday it was terrible. She was prescribed some steroids form the doctor to help keep her throat open and she spent Friday afternoon and night sleeping on us as she cried as soon as she was put down to bed.
She was starting to feel a bit better by Saturday afternoon and then on Saturday nights he lost her voice. It was soo cute as she knew that she sounded funny so she kept making hissing noises.
She is a lot better now, just has a bit of a croaky voice. She went back to daycare on Monday and had a blast. She was very happy to be back after a week away.
I just had a look in Charlotte's mouth while putting her down to bed and yet another tooth has popped through. That makes 6 now. Three on the top and three on the bottom.
Charlotte got a fever on Monday and at 11pm we ended up in the emergency room of the hospital because it had gotten to almost 40 and wasn't coming down. There wasn't much they could do for her, so after a thorough examination we were sent home and just told to watch her. We gave her a sponge bath and let her crawl around without her nappy on and eventually it started to drop. We finally get her to sleep at 2am. I must say it was a very long day at work yesterday with only 5 hours sleep. I was very pleased that today was my day off. She had a great sleep after finally getting to sleep and her and Andrew didn't get out of bed until 9.30am. She was a bit unsettled yesterday, but today she is bright as a button.
We have just come home from feeding the ducks down by the lake. We have found a nice little bay over by Acacia Bay where the Ducks aren't too evil.
Only two more weeks until our holiday in Auckland. We are planning on taking Charlotte back to the zoo. Hopefully she will be awake this time. We thought that we would also take her to Kelly Tarltons.
