Day 14 Part 1
October 28th - St Thomas
Well, this installment will be short and sweet! Let's just say the day didn't go as planned.
I woke up and it was official, I was sick now too.
Rob and I showered and then I was gonna suck it up so that we could make it to Sapphire Beach for a few hours for Kira but things didn't work out that way.
I stayed with Kira while Rob went to the buffet and brought us all back some breakfast. All I ate was half a chocolate croissant and a sip of milk.
While Rob and Kira ate, I just laid in bed. After Kira ate she crawled up into my bed next to me and just laid down next to me. Poor little kiddo wasn't feeling good either
She felt pretty warm so we gave her some Tylenol and I tickled her to sleep.
She rarely cuddles with us at home, let alone crawl up into bed with me!! Even though we were both really sick, I really enjoyed our cuddle time
She fell asleep in a few minutes so I went back to sleep too while Rob got some work done on the laptop.
I think we slept for 2-3 hours and then we ordered room service.
Kira was feeling better by now so Rob took her to the splash pool to play for awhile.
It was nap time now and I believe we all napped together!
This was the day that
DCL was celebrating Halloween and we were looking forward to taking Kira for the trick-or-treating. Unfortunately we missed the whole thing
Kira's appetite was off today. The only thing she wanted to eat was junk food and a little bit of fruit. We let her have some junk but kept up with the fluids and by 7pm she was feeling better again.
Tonight was our Palo Night with S & B but I wasn't sure if I was going to make it. By 8pm, the time for Kira's Flounders reservation she seemed like a new kid again and she asked to go so I dug deep and got dressed and just made it for our Palo reservation.
On the outside I seemed fine but my lungs were burning (no coughing) and my body was aching so bad!
I tried to make the best of supper but it was tough. The food was good but I didn't eat a whole lot. Sean and Bernie really seemed to enjoy it so all was good
Rob also seemed to feel much better and he enjoyed it too.
My body was aching so I thought it would be a good idea to go soak in the hot tub for awhile so while Rob picked up Kira from Flounders, I went back to the room to change into my swimsuit.
Rob got back with Kira and she didn't look too good. You could tell she had a fever and was tired. The counselor told Rob that she asked for a blanket and just layed on a pillow and watched TV most of the night.
They also told him that Minnie Mouse came by to visit but she didn't even get up to see her.
We later received a photo they took from that night. Although you can tell she is sick, she did, indeed, get up to see her.
I told Rob that while she did seem sick, she still seemed OK. She was still acting like our little girl and I was not worried about her. Rob, on the other hand, was still extremely paranoid about H1N1 and so he wanted to take her down to the Medical Facility. While we were down there, we saw the nurse, who didn't seem overly concerned.
She had a bit of a fever so she recommended giving her both Tylenol and Motrin, which we bought from her for $9. She gave us an ear thermometer to take with us so we can take her temp which we said we would return to her in the morning.
Back to the room and we tucked her in. Her fever was mostly gone by then (after some Motrin) and she fell asleep right away.
I went and soaked my aching body in the hot tub for awhile before heading into bed myself.
I didn't even get to see St Thomas because I stayed in the room until 8pm.
Like I said, not exactly how we planned our day
