In which Rebekah discusses her weekend

Thursday afternoon, Cherry and I headed over to the parc des epivans after lunch, with the idea that Cherry could spend some excess energy on the slides and swings. We got there ok, but when it was time to leave, Cherry starting complaining that her ear was hurting. She felt warm, so I carried her home, and stuck her in the Ergo to bring her to school to pick up Sapphire and Ezio. By the time we got home she was complaining a lot, and she felt quite hot, so I gave her ibuprofen and decided to see how she was feeling the next morning.

Friday she was very definitely sick, so I called the school to let them know (it was easier than I had feared, fortunately) and we hung around the house all day. Around lunchtime I went to the store and finally found a thermometer that didn't cost 50 euros, and picked up some things for lunch and dinner. I also determined that since she wasn't acting terribly sick when she was dosed, we could probably wait to see a doctor unless she took a turn for the worse.

Saturday and Sunday she still ran a fever, and so we stayed pretty close to home. Sapphire helped me make a pear clafouti on Saturday afternoon, and we pretty much did nothing at all on Sunday. Monday, Cherry woke up without a fever, and I kept her home one more day just to make sure. She is, happily, back at school today.
