Grace woke up from an extraordinarily long nap today with a fever of 101 degrees! (That's high for her because she is usually about 96 degrees!) She has been wimpery and laying down on the floor all day. I feel so bad for her. She has only ever had a mild fever while teething, but this is something more. So far, no pulling of ears...but I have a feeling she and I will be staying home from church this week. I wish her daddy were here to help comfort her. You can tell she misses him a lot.
Oh, I guess I didn't blog about that yet. Matt is officially active in his unit here on Fort Hood. He is in the field and won't be back until Tuesday. He has a big learning curve ahead of him to learn the politics, strengths and weaknesses of the guys around him (so he says). He also found out that he will be working the Reconaissance side of Armor instead of working with tanks. Which he actually enjoyed more in Kentucky and it will be easier to transition to Military Intelligence in three years.
Matt also found out he will be deploying for 12 months on Dec 18th. He is a bit nervous, but he wants to go serve his country and the people of Iraq. I am proud of him for being brave enough to go. He is definitely a family guy and it will be hard for him to be away from "his girls." I love him so much it's sick!
That's all for now. I am going to go comfort Grace all I can while she is wimpery and enjoy how cuddly she is right now. (The only good thing is the cuddling! She is NEVER cuddly!)
Tylenol. That is the answer. Poor baby. I hate it when they're sick. Deployment seems to be a word I'm hearing a lot lately. Everybody's doing it. Anyway, we're thinking about you guys.
ReplyDeleteSorry she was so sick. I hope she is better now. You are a good mommy. I am also glad Matt is on such a good track for what he wants to do. Your family is so stinken strong and brave! I saw the soldiers in the Logan parade (you guys probably knew almost all of them) anyway I totally cried as they walked by we all stood and clapped for them. I love soldiers and our country and Matt too.
