Friday morning Lizzie woke up with a fever and by the afternoon we decided to take her to the doctor. Yes they unofficially confirmed that she has H1N1, unfortunately the test is only right 50 percent of the time so really they said even if it came back negative the doctor would still say that she had it. The bad thing is they only give the medicine to kids under 2 and since she was to old they sent us home with a prescription for Charlie and just told us to watch her. If she developed a cough with mucus then we should worry. So unfortunatly our Halloween was a little lame, we quarantined ourselves and just stayed home. Saturday she still had a fever but she was feeling a little better. Mainly she was just wiped out and would just keep saying how tired she was. We let her carve some pumpkins and she actually trick-or-treated to about 5 houses then she was done. Needless to say I was glad that we had so much fun the week before she didn't mind to much. Today she is doing even better and her fever is almost gone, so far no one else has caught it. Of course Thursday I made appointments for them to get vaccinated on Tuesday and Lizzie catches it the next day go figure.
Lizzie carving pumpkins, it was actually a really nice day but since she was sick I made her wear her coat.
Some of the finished products we didn't get a lot of close ups.
Bri came up with this one all by himself I was really impressed.
Here we are going out trick or treating my mom gave Lizzie this mask that glowed and she insisted on wearing them it was really quite cute.

So sorry lizzie is sick :( I hope we didn't give it to you! Glad you still had fun though. Let's play after she's better
That stinks that Lizzie got sick - it is always worse when it happens around a holiday. But I am glad that she didn't have a bad case of it and that she is getting over it. Looks like you still manages to have some fun - you guys look great all dressed up!
How sad for Lizzie!! At least she made it to a few houses! Love the pumpkins!!
That really is a scary visitor. You all will be in our prayers that no one else will catch it.
amazing pumpkins and costumes!
to help avoid further illness at our house we have decided to keep the kids home from nursery on sundays. our pediatrician thought it was a great idea, he said they haven't seen the seasonal flu yet so watch out there's more coming.
