Poor Madison had to give a urine sample to find out the cause of her fever. The results were not pretty, she had a UTI and was screaming in pain of urination. I felt helpless and wish I could have taken the pain for her. She didn't smile or do anything for almost three days. Poor baby. She has been on antibiotics now for four days and no more signs of fever! I am so glad I have my happy baby back.
On the 30th, towards the end of the day she was feeling a whole lot better. She was a little fussy, but nothing major. So, we decided to take her to the commanding officer's building for the base because all of the offices were passing out candy at the end of their work day. Everyone thought Madison looked "kawaii" which means "cute" in Japanese. It was fun to see Marines get into the spirit at work and in their cammies :)
That same night, we decided to take Madison to a haunted house here on base hosted by MWSS-171. We dressed her up in her skele-girl outfit and we were off. I have to admit I was afraid, lol! Madison on the other hand was such a brave little skeleton! I was holding her so tight & she didn't even cry. I am so proud of my lil turkey!
Halloween morning we were up early and set out to participate in the Breast Cancer Awareness run/walk. Of course, I HAD to run and give it all I had. Madison and I of course showed our support by wearing pink! I ran for everyone who is affected by this horrible disease, with a few special people in mind: My abuelita (she's a survivor) and my friend Vanessa's mom (she is an angel). I tried my hardest with Ben by my side and Madison in her jogger. We completed the run and I have never felt better in my life.It was a perfect day and the sun was shining with no wind. After the run, a Marine came up and asked us if we knew any survivors, I said my grandma and I was handed a Breast Cancer pink plush bear. It made my day. It was a beautiful way to start my Halloween.
