When we got back we went to dinner, which is when Missy started to shiver like crazy. We find out later that she had come down with heat exhaustion. would you like to know how she got it?
Missy NEVER wears sunscreen. EVER. she doesn't burn in the normal sense. she just gets more brown(curses her latin and native american blood.) So she didn't think it was possible for her to burn. Well as you can see, she did. pretty bad actually. (funny thing is she never turns red, she just turns more brown where the sun hit.)
she ended up with a temperature averaging 101 and stayed there since this morning at around 9AM all the while not sweating a drop. she woke up this morning in a pool of sweat. (sorry this may be too gross) but we woke up and i felt wet too cuz she had sweat that much, over to my side of the bed.
my mom later tells me that that can happen when someone's fever finally breaks. So she is feeling MUCH better.
One of the greatest blessings about this is living with family. All day friday I was working to get all my parents landscaping done because all the plants arrived friday morning and I couldn't let so much money die. So Brittany and my mom took care of Missy and the baby which turned out being awesome. When my dad got back from work for the day we gave Missy a blessing and her fever broke the next morning.
Thank you Brittany for taking Abigail for us so much the last day or two. You have NO IDEA how much that helped out knowing she was taken care of but a room away as well. Love you so much!
here is a picture of the toaster oven and little Abigail resting together.
