She doesn't look sick!
But her cough was getting nasty... so she got her very own little cake to decorate (and cough all over) to her heart's content. 
That night after work... her daddy brought her some purple tulips and a beee-utiful princess baloon that is still surviving in her room today. Miss Tami, at Daddy's office, also sent Leah a birthday present... it was a BUNCH of goodies... like lipstick...
and a Barbie, among other things. We love Miss Tami, she is a sweetie!
A day or two later my parents ventured into the cespool to bring Leah's doctor kit over. (Pops would later come down with the dreaded virus.) And you can also see the awesome CD player/microphones that Giggle and Granstan gave as a birthday gift... early, thank goodness... they stayed away from the germie family and avoided the bug. 
Leah got the coolest gifts this year! Aunt Leslie found a fun sunshine CD case to hold all of Leah's music. 
By the time Saturday came around, the little one still had a fever and nasty cough, so we cancelled the Gymboree Play and Music birthday party that Mommy was so excited about! :(
And when we brought home the GIANT cake we had already ordered for the party... She decided that she wants to cancel parties more often! :) 
This video was a hidden camera operation. I was reading in the living room one night and Kevin decided to watch some of the "hunting videos" he and a friend had made while at the deer lease one weekend. He put on his headphones and hit play. He had no idea that once all the wheezing and hysteria began, I hit record on my phone's video camera. :) There was a point where the dusky, purple-ish color of his face actually had me worried, but I know CPR, so I kept rolling.
They say its a sign of good character if you can laugh at yourself. I'm not sure if this is what they mean...
