Although it was a restless night for me, Lily, at least, slept soundly throughout. And this morning, I am very relieved to say, she appeared a little more like her usual self. Another quick check of her temperature and I felt myself relax, realising that my worst fears were unfounded. She is still looking red in the face but has, at least, eaten today, and she has been drinking plenty of water.
Overnight, we got a covering of snow. Usually, Lily would be so excited to go outside as soon as she could, but this morning she simply enjoyed looking at it through the window. She has spent the day resting, and I'm sure she will feel the benefit of another good night's sleep.
Today, I started writing my Christmas cards, and at Lily's request we have decorated the tree. I almost tied myself in knots trying to untangle the lights, but it is all looking quite lovely now.

Pleased to read that Lily is improving ...
ReplyDeleteI'm sure your Christmas tree looks lovely.
All the best Jan
Thank you, Jan. It was reassuring that Lily felt well enough to decorate the tree, at least. X
DeleteGlad to hear Lily much better. There are so many strange viruses going around at the moment. My granddaughter had a high temperature, felt dizzy, had a headache and then was sick last Tuesday/ Wednesday. OK now but this is the third time this year and the first time she ended up having a seizure with it - a bit worrying and we have to watch her closely now whenever she has a temperature. I haven't even started my cards yet! x
ReplyDeleteThat must have been such a worry for you all. I'm glad your granddaughter is feeling okay now. X
DeleteThat is a pretty snow scene, and that wild garlic pesto on your side bar looks a treat. I am decorating my tree bit by bit. My sons visited a Christmas tree farm and cut down a tree for me, bless their hearts.
ReplyDeleteThe snow has made me feel a little bit more festive :)
DeleteSo glad to read that Lily is feeling a little better. I hope she continues to recover well and will be feeling up to playing in the snow in a few days. :)
ReplyDeleteLily has had another good night's sleep, at least. Unfortunately, I think the snow may have gone by the time she is feeling well enough to play. Xx
DeleteHuge relief for you, and for your blogging friends, to know that Lily is feeling better.
ReplyDeleteI suspect you will watch her like a hawk for a few days more, but in the meantime, I hope you can enjoy today, maybe hunker down inside whilst you patiently explain to Boo that the newly decorated tree is NOT an early present in the shape of a feline climbing frame? 🐈⬛ 💚
Considering the amount of children who have been quite poorly recently, I had been very concerned. Especially as it takes a lot to keep Lily down.
DeleteAlso, I don't want to jinx things regarding the tree, but so far so good :)
Glad to hear Lily is on the mend, it must have been such a concern with everything that's going around at the moment.
ReplyDeleteI always think once the lights are untangled, the worst is over, enjoy your tree.
Thank you. There are so many germs flying around just now, that it is almost impossible to avoid catching something. I was just relieved that it turned out to be nothing serious. X
DeleteI'm so glad Lily is recovering and building her energy levels up again. excellent.
ReplyDeleteThe snow looks beautiful. xx
Thank you, Joy. Lily has been busy enjoying the snow. Xx
DeleteThe snow looks so pretty but I won't be venturing out either, I'm so glad that Lily is feeling better, have a peaceful Sunday. x
ReplyDeleteThank you, Linda. X
DeleteThank heavens for that...hopefully she'll soon be back to her normal self. xx
ReplyDeleteIt was a huge relief. Xx
DeleteI’m so glad your daughter is feeling better. We have several really worrying respiratory infections that have hospitalized many young children and babies here. In fact we have had to call in help at hospitals and transfer to other hospitals in other cities to handle the crisis. There is nothing so worrying as when your child is sick. I am enjoying your December blog posts, its helping me feel more Christmassy. Jean in Winnipeg.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Jean. There have been many cases of Scarlet Fever and also respiratory infections here, as well, so you can understand why I was so worried. Xx
DeleteGlad Lily is starting to feel better and a relief for you too. Always an anxious time when our children are ill like Lily has been. Sending love and best wishes x
ReplyDeleteThank you for your kind wishes. Xx
