Today is Rachel's birthday, and it is just not a good day for a birthday. First, Rachel has been very sick all week. She has had a lot of vomiting and diahrea and a high fever. She has been so sick she hasn't even sat up long enough to draw. She has also become lactose intolerant from the damage this flu has done to her stomach. So my poor little Rachel cannot have some of her favorite things like ice cream and hot cocoa. Rachel has lost so much weight, you can see every bone in her little body. She has spent the entire week laying down. While I think she is finally starting to feel better, it is not a good time for a birthday.
Second, it is General Conference weekend for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. Today there are 2 two hour sessions we will watch and one two hour session for the Priesthood holders, of which John is one of them, so he will go out and watch that tonight. That leaves very little time for a birthday party.
Third, we are moving and most of our things are packed. It is very uncomfortable here right now with all of these boxes everywhere. So poor, poor Rachel. We will have a party for Rachel and for Adam in about 2 weeks at our new house with all of their cousins, because Adam was sick on his birthday and John was not employed. So we planned to have a make-up birthday party and we will even buy more presents to make it official.

You need to take Rachel to the doctors or give her pedialite. That will help, but seriously take her to the doctors!
It's a virus. There would be nothing a doctor could do for her. 3 of the other kids had it too. It just hit Rachel harder. She is slowly recovering. She will be fine.
Well, happy birthday anyways Rachel!
