Yesterday I wrote a post about Stephanie, my 16 year old that has the flu. She missed school yesterday because she was feeling terrible. It seems that everyone we know is passing it around right now. (Don’t give it to me, I don’ t want it!)
Stephanie had a fever and we were able to break it and she was back down to 99.0 degrees. This morning when I got up to check on her it was up to 103.8. So, I called the doctor. He told us exactly what to take. So, we have been following his orders.
Since Stephanie has been sick, our boxer, Bailey, has not left her side. When I’m in the room giving her medicine or fluids he sits right next to me, watching. When I leave the room, he jumps up on the bed, right next to her and stays close. When she leaves the room, he comes to get me in my home office. He nudges me to tell me that she’s up and to go check on her. He watches her or he wants me to be sure that I know exactly where she is at all times.
I guess it’s true…we all have a Guardian Angel. And Bailey is Stephanie’s guardian angel ( or should I say guardian dog?!.)
Here’s Bailey, in Stephanie’s bed right next to her…
