Today I got the call
from school that you were extra quiet, and had a temp of 99.9—definitely a
fever for my little girl who like to hang out around 97. Since I was on the way to the hospital to see
Luke, MiMi went by our house to get your carseat, and then to school to pick
you up. When you got home, MiMi says you still felt warm, but seemed to be
feeling ok. I think it was just a short
lived Audrey episode; last night you threw up quite a bit and must have gotten
it all out of your system by naptime.
I’m sorry you felt
bad. BUT. Something great did happen. Your teachers/nurse showed MiMi how to
collapse your wheelchair without removing the seat! For years we have been
taking that heavy, cumbersome seat off to load it into the car (where it did
not fit nicely) and then fought with it to reattach it when unloading. When we first got the chair, we were told
that was how it must be done. This makes
our lives so much easier!
I excitedly showed
Daddy and his response was, “Huh.” I asked, “Bittersweet, isn’t it?” He said, “Yeah,
just remembering all those smashed fingers, scraped knuckles and man hours taking
this thing apart.” But the man loves
efficiency almost as much as I do, so he agrees that this is a great day.
