Chocolate Makes Ava Happy

A couple weeks ago Ava was pretty sick. It started with a high fever that continued on and off for 4 days. She also had a cough, sore throat, and runny nose. After a few days she lost her voice and it was hard to communicate with her. It was a rough week and she was miserable.

Just when we thought she was getting better she developed a terrible rash. It started with a few red spots and continued to spread all over her face, legs, back, underarms, and diaper area. It was sad, but it didn't seem to bother her too much. Ava had the rash for a couple days and then it just went away.

During this long miserable week not much soothed Ava. We spent a lot of time snuggling on the couch and watching movies. We also spent several sleepless nights in the Lay-Z-Boy. Ava didn't want to eat much, but the one thing Ava wanted was chocolate. When her Uncle Eric heard about this he sent her a giant Hershey bar to make her feel better. It worked. She was much happier.
