"Breakfast is ready, it's time to wake up princess." I said gently shaking her awake at 10:30.
"Daddy, I don't feel good." She says setting up.
"What's wrong baby?" I ask smoothing out her hair.
"I just feel achy and nauseous."
"I'll go get the thermometer, just stay in bed." I say.
A few minutes later I walk back in and take her temperature.
"You don't have a fever. If you aren't feeling better soon I'll get you to the doctor. Would you like something to eat so you can take some ibuprofen?"
"Sure."
"Why don't you come downstairs with me. I made chocolate chip pancakes."
"Ok." She replies and then follows me downstairs.
"Go ahead and set down, I'll fix your plate." I tell her.
"I can get it."
"Don't worry about it. Set."
She gives in and sets down at the table.
After everyone is finally downstairs I say a prayer and we eat.
I sure hope Breanna isn't coming down with something. Courtney is finally starting to feel better after weeks of feeling pretty bad. I hate it when my family gets sick, it hurts me so much to see them like that.

Throughout the day Brea seemed fine. I took her out to eat lunch and then I took her shopping.
When we got home we are dinner and watched movies until she fell asleep on the couch.
Her head was resting on my leg so I had to stand up carefully and slowly so I didn't wake her up.
I picked her up and carried her upstairs to her bed.
Right as I was tucking her in she woke up.
"Night daddy." She said sleepily.
"Good night baby girl. I love you."
"I love you too." She replied before falling asleep again. I bent down and kissed her on the cheek.
I turned off her overhead light and quietly left her room.
When I got to my room I changed into my pajamas. After that I crawled into bed next to Courtney, who was already asleep, and wrapped my arm around her.
"I love you Court." I whispered into her ear before drifting off to sleep.

I woke up around 2:30 and I couldn't sleep so I just laid in bed.
I heard footsteps running down the hall followed by heavy coughing.
I got up and ran out into the hall and I heard Breanna in the bathroom.
When I found her she was hunched over the toilet throwing up.
I pulled her hair back and rubbed her back, trying to comfort her.
"What happened sweetheart?" I asked as she sat back, leaning against the side of the bathtub.
"I don't know, I just woke up and didn't feel good."
"Let's get you cleaned up."
I got a washcloth and she cleaned her face off and I helped her change into a new shirt.
"Is everything ok?" Courtney asked as her and Phoenix stood in the doorway.
"Yeah she's just not feeling well. You two go back to bed." I said.
They did as I asked and I went back to taking care of Brea.
I felt her forehead, it was burning up so I took her temperature: 101.3.
I gave her some medicine then stayed up with her until she was feeling well enough to go back to bed.
"I'll get you to the doctor as soon as they open tomorrow. I hope you feel better soon baby." I said tucking her back in bed.
"Ok." She replied.
I sat down on the window seat so I could be close if she needed me. After I knew she was asleep I closed my eyes and drifted off.
