Sad, Sick Lady

Poor Avery has caught the influenza bug, again! She had it last year when she was just a couple months old-before she had her first set of vaccines. To prevent a repeat this year, we made sure she got a flu shot in January. It found her anyway! Poor lady! She had spent the last three days lying on my lap. She is not at all interested in food, so we have been bribing her with a contraband bottle (She is not supposed to have one anymore, but she loves em!) to keep her hydrated.

The black eye is courtesy of a head bonk to
the wall. It seems to add to the dramatic flare
of the picture though.

I have been the germ police with the whole family to prevent further spreading, but Tristan thwarted my attempts when he grabbed an abandoned bottle and drained the contents. He too, it seems, has never gotten over his love of bottles! I await round two with the flu in a few days.
