Camp Paula - Day Four

Guest Post: Auntie Paula recounts her week with Ava

Day Four of Camp Ava/Paula can be summed up pretty quickly - Strawberry Pedialyte!

During the night of Ava getting sick and the two of periodically napping, Ava mentioned that Strawberry Pedialyte would make her feel better. After confirming this with Helen, I contacted the local pharmacy and placed an order for the magic elixir, saltines and applesauce. Since Joe was still on his business trip, the pharmacy was gracious enough to bring these items to the drive through for us to pick up. I wrapped Ava up in a blanket and carried her out to the car with a bucket in case she got sick during our trip to and from the pharmacy.

As advertised, the Strawberry Pedialyte worked! Upon returning home, we set up a little bed in the basement for Ava. She slowly drank the medicine, napped, watched a couple of videos and we read some books. Rather than jump on the mini trampoline, we journaled and did some arts and crafts. Rice for dinner and then we both went to bed early. Feeling much better than when the day started!
