Weekly Wrap Up - Fall Fun, Concert and the Virus from Heck

My husband's extended family does a big community fish fry each fall.  This past Saturday was the big day, and we all converged on their church fellowship hall for more food than you could imagine. It was fun reconnecting with folks we only see once a year.    I snagged one of the cute little table decorations to bring home.

Sunday evening we went to see the group Sidewalk Prophets in concert with friends.  There were three families in our group and trying to get everyone doing the same thing at the same time proved to be a bigger challenge than I'd expected, so there are no photos of everyone together.  Below is the band in concert, Group A with Sidewalk Prophets after the concert and Group B at our traditional after concert milkshake run.

Monday morning is where it all fell apart.   Olivia got up, started to feed the dog and promptly fainted twice in a 5-10 minute time frame, followed by a fever and 24 hours of straight sleep.   Two doctor visits later  and a false diagnosis of mono, we still had no answers other than the greatly annoying "it's a virus, it'll pass" line that they give you when they really don't know what to tell you.     Olivia spent Monday through Wednesday in bed, living on Gatorade and Tylenol.  Thursday she moved to the sofa where she choked down a little yogurt mid morning.  Friday there was a bit more light in her eyes, and she wasn't nearly as wobbly overall.    She's down several pounds as well.

Lindsey got all of her school work done this week, went to volleyball practice, worked at the museum and finished some new cushion covers for her ever growing sewing business.

Today I'm doing laundry, washing all the linens and disinfecting everything that doesn't get out of the way.  Here's to a virus free weekend, and hopefully a full recovery as the girls have a very important volleyball game on Monday.
