We went to bed Wednesday night with all the usual pre-Thanksgiving Day thoughts: being thankful for our family, no work, parade & football watching, and of course all the great food. Our day started off briskly at 6 AM by the sounds of moans coming from Lily's room. Lily (and we say this with all the love in the world) can be a little dramatic sometimes when it comes to illness. She does unfortunately suffer from pretty bad allergies and we just assumed the "I can't breathe" and "My tummy hurts" were due to combination of allergies and being hungry. After falling back asleep on the couch with Daddy, she woke up around 7:30 and we tried to get her to eat some breakfast. At 8:00, bagel went down and at 8:05, bagel came up. Guess she wasn't overreaccting this time, Lily officially had some virus. A 102 degree temperature check confirmed it.
Lily pretty much laid on the couch all day, alternating between TV watching and sleeping. Emma just loved it because pretty much her day evolved around whatever made Lily happy ... watching movies and cartoons. We spent our Thanksgiving watching the classic cinema feature of Garfield II: Tail of Two Kitties (Cox Cable really needs to update their On Demand selection), followed by multiple showings of the Pixie Hollow Games. As the day progressed, we felt worse for Lily. Fever pretty much stayed the whole day and she couldn't even hold down ice chips or a popsicle. What kind of parents would we be if we ate our Thanksgiving dinner in front of a little girl who couldn't eat? So we put the turkey away and had chicken nuggets (once again making Emma happy).
