Poor Pooks came down with a fever on Friday that lasted through Tuesday early afternoon. It went up and down but never disappeared and at one point hit 104 (which caused me to rip the thermometer out of her mouth before it beeped and yell ok enough of that out of sheer fear of the numbers increasing). Normally we would head to San Jose, however she was running around and acting way too normal for such a high temperature so naturally i was convinced the thermometer was broken (even though i tested it on myself and it was normal) and sent Will to the pharmacy to get a new thermometer and some fever reducer. The new thermometer had the same results but Pookie felt “fine” according to her and didn’t want any medicine so we waited it out one more night (this was going on night 4) and thankfully she woke up the day before her birthday and her fever broke! Pookie has officially made it to 5 years old without ever taking medicine or antibiotic…hopefully we can make this claim again next year, and the year after, and so on. Here are some pics of the little peanuts cuddling, watching movies, and drinking smoothies at different points during our 4 day hibernation with Pook’s illness.
