a little scare last night

Last night we went to dinner at the Hammonds. It was a fun time, we always have fun when we get together. When I got there I noticed Emily was acting "odd". Very withdrawn, sort of hiding away in corners, very unlike Emily. I didn't pay it too much attention though. Later Tracy came and told me she thought Emily felt "hot" and was going to take her temperature. We did and it was 99.9 degrees, the highest reading we have ever personally had since she was diagnosed and home from the inital hospital stay. The threshold is a temp of 100.3 sustained for an hour. So we were very close to the threshold. She also started developing mouth and throat sores while we were there, also a bad sign. When we got home we took her temp again and it was 99.3. She went to bed and this morning her temp was and still is normal.

We are going to stay around home this weekend. Emily has a birthday party to attend on Saturday and we are considering driving over to the beach on Sunday.

I am so glad you got past that scare without having to deal with what happens when you are over the threshold. I know those mouth and throat sores can be a problem for Emily. I hope they heal very quickly and she feels more like her usual self quickly. Going to a birthday party is bound to be a lot of fun.

We're glad Em's fever went down. We will pray extra for continued well-being.

We hope the birthday party is lots of fun.

Lots of love and prayers,
